Indeed. I did not write "all users" but "all user definable config files". 
Maybe should have added a hyphen "all user-definable config files"? I did not 
mean that all users should have the same configs, lol! rather that user configs 
should be in a /config folder (inside their home); thus files (1) don't clutter 
their home folder (2) don't need be hidden.
