GNUstep directory, why?

Being the anal retentive individual that I am, I don't like being able to
see my config files etc during ordinary file listings. The GNUstep tree
sitting there in my home director offends my sensibilities, so the first
thing I do when a new version of afterstep comes out is compile it so that
by default the config files are in ~/.GNUstep.
I'm totally satisfied and this note isn't really a complaint, but why does
afterstep have this major directory tree thing for its configuration? Is
it in preparation for some hypothetical future common desktop standard
or something? If so, am I going to run into trouble if (when) other apps
start using this config tree? Can somebody shed some light on this?
Thanks
Curious,
Albert
