  Perhaps, but hiding things annoys many people more ... not a huge deal
as .config is not too hidden anyway ...

   At the moment we have apps writing to both .config and .local/share
which seems ugly to me ...  should these be merged ?

  There def seems to be a lot of stuff in .config ... but slightly
better would be

   ~/config/bin

  (not .config) and it would only contain links to

   ~/config/<app>/bin/<foo>
