+1 I'm watching this same debate over on Python-Dev. It's definitely
schizophrenic. There are people who are perfectly happy to have Unix
conventions, and there are those who want stuff in ~/Library/$PKG.
Neither camp would be happy with some stuff in ~/Library and some in a
.directory.
I would be okay with a potential data-root in
/Library/Application Support/XEmacs/XEmacs Packages/ , and a potential
user-init-directory in ~/Library/Application/XEmacs , if and only if the
latter will be overridden by an existing ~/.xemacs/ .
That allows the pure Mac people to be conscientious and Mac about their work
habits, and the mixed Unix-Mac people to reasonable behaviour by default.

-0 In that same debate, the Mac fans are pretty vociferous about
wanting ~/Library. Curiously enough, these are also the people who
actually contribute to Mac-oriented stuff in Python, they're not the
peanut gallery.

Sure, but I doubt that's what the users will say.
