> I don't think the specification¹ mandates how folders should be
structured under $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$SOFTWARE_NAME` is the de facto way, snap ignores it.
Technically, yes, you're absolutely free to use hashes instead of your
software's name when you store things in the configuration folder,
really doesn't mean it's a good idea.

> Hopefully snapd behaves (mostly) the same on all supported
distributions, so distro-hopping shouldn't be a concern either.

You're making three assumptions. That snap will behave the same across
distributions, that snap is supported on different distributions at all,
and that someone even wants to install the snap package. All of them are
frankly really bad assumptions and just cause people pain.
