I was referring to this commit:

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/shepherd.git/commit/?id=c6382a6898f2851d78b675f209787c5ff9ad4320

But actually a later commit uses XDG_STATE_HOME:

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/shepherd.git/commit/?id=ec2a0b07a6dedcbec3cf6bb7328b144a117873e8

So I guess I just got confused and made a mistake in ‘NEWS’?
