[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hard-coding a file like this should be avoided, ever since Emacs also
supports XDG-compliant configurations paths.

Other than that, it might be better to not even store this under
XDG_CONFIG_HOME but XDG_DATA_HOME, as automatically generated files are
not configurations but data.
