You must have been missing a lot of the discussion... (:-)) [Not surprising, 
given
the way it ballooned.]

Nobody is suggesting that there shouldn't be a place for users to install their
own packages.  The question is whether that place needs to be ~/config.

Packages have to be written new, and have no legacy as to where they
need to operate from, so this might as well be a mount point such as
~/packaged or ~/config/packaged, leaving ~config for its original
function (and for people like me who have a lot of hard-to-move stuff
there!).
