And why would I want /config for all users? The config files in $HOME are user-
specific and have no business being system specific. It's /etc that has system
specific config files. And maybe /config would have been a better name than
/etc,
but I don't think that a name change would help anything at this point.
Regardless, I_want_ my user-specific settings to be user-specific. I see_zero_
benefit in putting them in /config. That makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Indeed. I did not write "all users" but "all user definable config files".
Maybe should have added a hyphen "all user-definable config files"? I did not
mean that all users should have the same configs, lol! rather that user configs
should be in a /config folder (inside their home); thus files (1) don't clutter
their home folder (2) don't need be hidden.
