Yes, that was the argument -- the "there" referred to RuntimeLocation which AFAIK does not need to survive reboots or be backed up. I'd have chosen $TMPDIR (aka QDir::tempPath()) myself. Contrary to ~/Library/Cache that one is cleared on each reboot, which seems advantageous at least for the kind of things RuntimeLocation is used for in FOSS/Freedesktop applications. It's not much of an issue, though I did modify my QSP/XDG patch to include RuntimeLocation when XDG mode is activated.
