I simply followed existing practice that I found in Emacs. FWIW I
think it would make sense to make this a customizable setting used
everywhere that "~/.emacs.d" is currently used.
Does Aquamacs have a setting for this? package.el could conditionally
use that.
This (the customizable setting) has been discussed before[1], and I even
offered to go find all the hardcoded ~/.emacs.d/ usages, but there wasn't
much evident interest. Is there now, especially given the issue of
differing standards among OSes?
