The discussion about a STATE dir is at least 8 years old now: https://wiki.debian.org/XDGBaseDirectorySpecification section "Proposal: STATE directory" and linked mail threads in this list.
Please, give the world a standard dir in $HOME to save state! I found this thread because stebalien@ had the same complaint on github: "One thing I'm really not happy about is the spec's lack of an XDG_STATE_DIR." https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/3589 Never give up hope.
