    I believe the intent is to use appdata for user-specific configs and programdata for system-wide configs.

      A lot of apps mess up local vs roaming AppData too. Roaming is for things that would make sense in a roaming profile (ie to sync to other systems) whereas local is for things that should only exist on this system (caches, machine-specific configs, etc)
