Glenn Morris mentioned Bug#15539's user-emacs-directory issue here:

https://bugs.gnu.org/583#68

... so this email is giving you a heads-up that I recently installed a patch into GNU Emacs master that should allow something approximating Bug#15539's requested behavior. For example, one can run Emacs like this:

XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/rms/.config emacs

to employ user rms's Emacs configuration, instead of your configuration.

The patch I installed did not do anything special to fix bug#15539, as the new Emacs behavior is a natural fallout of supporting the XDG spec's requirements for XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

This all assumes people are using the XDG-conforming locations for config files, which I hope is good enough since older Emacs obviously wasn't meeting the Bug#15539 need anyway.
