It's great to finally see some progress in this area, but IIUC this is
still not really following the XDG spec. For example, I think a proper
solution would see user elpa packages stored undo XDG_DATA_HOME, etc.
I think the OP points this out.
It looks like what we have at the moment is basically
~/.emacs.d/ -> ~/.config/emacs/?
