It is not very important to me, but it seems crucial for the argument
that the XDG Base Directory Specification is merely "the current
fashion".

AFAIK, there was no standard before the XDG BDS which it could
replace, there exists no competing standard, and so far there has been
no standard proposed to replace it.  Is that wrong?
