Isn't that happening anyway by various packages and functions? I see
there "auto-install", "auto-save-list" directories, I did not create
them myself. I see "desktop", though I used "desktop" package nobody
warned me it will be there. There is "erc-log" which I did not know it
will be there, there is "eshell", "games", "icons", "image-dired",
"multisession", "newsticker", "todo" and so on, too many.
I never had explicit control over creation of those files.
Using a package alone is not what I consider under "explicit", as I
was not asked directly about any of those directories.

Me too, I do not want to have, and I do not have, but some XDG
environment variables are there.

Me too, but I keep it in my private $TMPDIR, as it is unsafe to keep
it in /tmp
I do keep /tmp encrypted for that reason as it is not safe. And my
/home is also encrypted on different partition.
In general it is unsafe to choose /tmp for private information as then
maybe /tmp is not encrypted.

Me too, unless I use "desktop" and that is saved on encrypted
partition.
But I would not like using Org files on remote servers and that
information is anywhere else stored unencrypted about which file I
opened and what I wrote.
