I have to admit that I've not been following this at all, mainly because
I don't care, I just want my data stored somewhere, and I don't really
care where (thats why it's in a dotdirectory anyways).  But if this is
the ~/.config spec I'm thinking of, in my ~ (which has been around for
years and through many installs), the most notable entries I have in
there are gtk-2.0, MonoDevelop, openbox, Thunar, Trolltech, xfce4, and
xmms2.

After years of collecting, that's hardly enough to merit "wide" adoption.
