Comment (by dolio):

 Isn't this still a report about `directory`? I think it was decided for
 the upstream issue that changing the behavior of `getAppUserDataDirectory`
 would silently break things, so it was better to add the XDG querying
 functions for people to use rather than switch this function. So should
 this issue be closed?

 If the reason it's open is GHC placing its files in XDG directories, that
 is #6077 as mentioned by simonmar above.
