We didn't get to this in the meeting today, so we'll try and work this
out over the list.

Personally, I have no major concerns with requiring default apps to
support xdg configuration dirs, particularly since most already do.
However, I don't think it's a pressing concern for F21 and most of the
work should happen in the upstream projects.  That is particularly
true for Firefox and NSS/NSPR.  The rest seem like quick enough work,
but we might wish to grant exceptions for those 3 if we do adopt such
a policy.

What do other WG members think?
