It would make psql randomly different from 95% of the other programs that have similar config files. Or, if everybody somehow got on board with "let's put config files in ~/.config/", then there'd be clutter in that directory ... and we're back to square one. Also, this is the kind of thing where version-to-version changes in behavior will be REALLY user-unfriendly. regards, tom lane
