Since I’m so used to typing ‘nano ~/.nanorc’ and I may or may not be on an “old” or “new” system/server/vm, I’m going to be tempted to create a symlink from ~/.nanorc to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nano/nanorc. Though I like the easy to backup quality, I wonder how long it will take to get used to the new way for users and how long we will have a mixture of old and new.

~/.nanorc should be moved/renamed to ~/.nano/config, automatically like .nano_history was. If XDG is used then automatically move ~/.nano/ to $XDG_DATA_HOME/nano/ and move the nanorc/config file to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nano/. And if renamed to "config", then maybe move/rename (not automatic) /etc/nanorc to /etc/nano/config to match the new style.
