Hi,


Currently, most secrets (SSH Keys, GPG Keys, OAuth token) seems to be
located in XDG_CONFIG_HOME.


However I think one of the interests of the XDG basedir specification is
to facilitate the management of those different files (backup,
publication, mount, ...) because of the different policies applying to
those files.


But it don't think secrets should be handled the same way as
configuration. What do you think about adding XDG_KEYS_HOME (maybe
.secrets or .local/secrets) and XDG_KEYS_DIR ?
