Ok, but then we are not even consistent to ourself, see "perf: Add
support for full Intel event lists" which download already to
$XDG_CACHE_HOME [1]. It is not useless to agree on one standard.
Reinvent the place where caches and configurations are stored again
and again is somewhat stupid. E.g. ~/.cache (or $XDG_CACHE_HOME) can
be deleted without problems, ~/.config not, and so on. Someone
(Rusty?) thought about this several years ago, IMHO we should give at
least a try.
