I guess it didn't exist yet at some point and nobody added a change to make it 
default when it appeared.

It does sound like being the better default, with a location in $XDG_DATA_HOME 
just like for contacts.

I don't think it is worth the effort of adding migration but using it as the 
default in firstrun might be worthwhile.

I am not using any local calendar so I wouldn't know if there were any 
important differences between the dir and file resource other then the storage 
itself which would make the dir variant a bad default.
It does sound like the better choice to me.

Is that also the name that is displayed for its calendar entry in KOrganizer?
