If you don't set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and files are present in /etc/easybuild.d we now get WARNING: Deprecated functionality, will no longer work in EasyBuild v6.0: Using /etc/easybuild.d is deprecated. Please use /etc/xdg/easybuild.d instead or add /etc to XDG_CONFIG_DIRS; see https://docs.easybuild.io/deprecated-functionality/ for more information This addresses easybuilders#4591 (comment)
