Do you mean the system-level config folder? Won't that cause problems when A) you rename / move a folder or B) copy a folder to a different computer?

Nope, he means the "new" LSB preferred directory for user-level configurations. "New" being quoted here because it's around a decade old already.
Nit: ~/.config is specified by XDG, not by LSB.

But yeah, the most recent revision of the XDG basedir spec is dated November 2010; we've had it for a decade.
