Maybe it is; I'd hope so.

The fd.o spec that describes ~/.local/share/ doesn't say anything
*else* about ~/.local/, though.  So our expansion of ~/.local/ is very
much our own.

My own ~/.local/ contains a bunch of gnomish desktop stuff in share/
and Python stuff in lib/, and that's it.

I'd be as happy as I'm going to be with configs in ~~/.local/etc/.
(Still going to be a grouchy old fart.)
