Currently all KF5/Workspaces configuration files end up in ~/.config.

Looking at my personal ~/.config, it seems that nearly all other
applications and desktop-environments make use of a subdirectory to
prevent "spamming" the toplevel directory and isolate the related config
files nicely.

Compared to the situation of KDE SC 4.x where everything was nicely
separated in ~/.kde/share/config the current situation is IMHO rather
unsatisfying and makes e.g. resetting/backing up/etc. a user's complete
KF5/Workspaces configuration really hard as one cannot simply target a
single directory like ~/.config/kde.org/

In case this should be done, it needs to be done before the first final
release, otherwise migrating this over at a later point will be a major
PITA.

What are your thoughts regarding this situation?
