I'm not terribly involved in bzr day to day these days, so please just
consider this my personal opinion.

Which is, I think that changing the config directory is much more
trouble than its worth. We've tonnes of docs built up that talk about
the old location, and a half life of years for each version, with a
tail of 4-5 years.

If we do do it, I think it would be highly sensible to plan for a
transition taking up to 5 years before the docs, help, and other tools
can really depend on the new location being the one to use.
