basedir spec

[Bernd]

Hello,

I reported an issue on the TV-Browser issue tracker to respect the
freedesktop basedir specification:
http://tvbrowser.org:8080/jira/browse/TVB-721

But they closed the issue with "Won't Fix". The argument was that the
freedesktop basedir specification is distro related and not every distro
respect this specifications.

Could someone explain me what the TV-Browser developers mean or could
someone help me to argue on the issue for TV-Browser?
