As an Emacs user I would like to kindly request you to reconsider this bug.
I think that the added complexity (look at the patch size, and even that is more
comments than code) is more than justified by the convenience it adds. Yes,
there are
some workarounds which are either cumbersome (like fiddling with symlinks) or
break
things (like adjusting $HOME). Using straightforward approach is better because
it's
100% backward-compatible, easy to use and aligns well with user expectations
(many
other programs allow you to override default config location with environment
variable).
best regards,
Max.
