$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsd/config.d vs $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsd.d

Dear all,

I am wondering if there are any best practices when you need a
subdirectory in a program's config namespace. Basically, I have two
choices:

  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsd/config.d
  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsd.d

I think I am leaning towards the latter, but I would prefer going
after established best practices. FWIW, the latter option follows what
is done in /etc by most programs.

In case there is no standard yet, I would like to try and find consensus.


Thanks,
Richard
