[Responding belatedly to a 2019-07-28 review that I missed, as I was looking for
reviews in Bug#583 instead of in the emacs-devel archive. Sorry about that.]
the test which describes in detail how Emacs finds the init
file should be in the section by that name; otherwise it makes no
sense to have that section in the first place. The "Init File"
section should just mention the possible places and refer to that
other section for the details.
I gave it a shot by installing the first attached patch, which also fixes a few
other confusions and/or inaccuracies that I spotted.
The documentation also needs to be updated to replace ~/.emacs.d, either with
~/.config/emacs or with something more general, in places where the
documentation refers to the value of user-emacs-directory. That should be fairly
mechanical, and can wait until we have the details nailed down.

Can this be a defconst?
It's been a defconst ever since it was added to Emacs in 2007. However, the
manual has always said it's a variable and there are quite a few uses of (setq
user-emacs-directory ...) in the wild, so I installed the second attached patch
to make it a defvar.
I think the other issues in the review were addressed earlier.
