Sounds reasonable to me.
I am certainly on the pro ".xemacs/" side. (As usual I don't think we
should be so conservative...)
MS> ~/.xemacs is a package hierarchy.
Whose idea was that? "~/.xemacs/" was marked to be for users
configuration files _and_ personal packages and libraries. In
particular I thought "~/.xemacs/{mule-}packages/" was meant for
packages, just like for "$prefix/lib/xemacs/{mule-}packages/".
I am very much again the current behaviour that grabs "any"
subdirectory of "~/.xemacs/" and bungs it onto `load-path'.
Please give us some freedom in how we use "~/.xemacs/".
Thank you.
