Comment (by deryni):

 We (pidgin) cannot set them to anything, and we don't care what they
 actually point to. Read our comments again. Our issue is that we do not
 find the specification at all meaningful in its distinctions of data types
 for our purposes and that we do not agree that moving the configuration
 directories (and splitting them so as to require likely double the total
 number of directories) is in fact something useful (for us, and possibly
 in general).

 Oh, and no 'wontfix' is not mean, it is simply an indication that we have
 no plans to fix this 'issue'.
