STOP putting your shitty dot-directories full of a mix of config, cache and data in my god damned home directory.
Concerned that not doing this will break things? Just check if you've dumped your crap in there already and if not then put it in the right places.
Worried about confusing existing users migrating to other machines? Document the change.
Still worried? How about this: I'll put a file called opt-into-xdg-base-directory-specification inside ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config} and if you find that file you can rest assured I won't be confused.
This reminds me...
