Comment 14 for bug 1887804

> 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.
