Re: Updating the recommendations for user configuration files (Policy chapter 9)
Hi Russ,
Thanks for your prompt answer.

I agree.

My concern is mostly about people (writing new applications or
whatever) acting upon the recommendation in the policy of using
dot-files directly in $HOME, so my request isn't as much about trying
to enforce everyone to patch their packages (which would indeed mean a
lot of work) but just to have that point clarified and make people
aware of the alternative.
Anyway, it's up to you. If you prefer to leave it as it is for now I
can live with that :).
Regards,
