So?  If you want to share files, you're probably sharing all three
config files and don't need a separate directory at all.  This is
not a sufficient argument to make me buy into the mess of letting
people choose nonstandard configuration file names --- especially
when most of the opposite camp seems to be more interested in choosing
*standard* names for things.  Why does that policy stop short at the
directory name?
