Not sure if anyone has proposed updated ways to do it, but I made a minimal
patch that implements it
with fallback to legacy config. It's not trying to move anything, just
using XDG base dir if it's a new installation
and picking legacy config if it already exists. It allows to start using it
for fresh installs and not breaking it for old
ones which is a simple temporary compromise.
See attached.

Shmerl.
