I don't like polluting the home directory of the user.
We already have these files and directories:
   ~/.config/dpdk/devel.config
   ~/.dpdk_telemetry_aliases
   ~/dpdk-traces/
   ~/dpdk_graph_pcap_capture_XXXXXX.pcapng
   /usr/share/dpdk/telemetry-endpoints

I think ~/.config/dpdk/ is the best place for our config files.

It is not blocking the series but we should work on unifying these files.
