"Rejected" is a bit of an overstatement. I instead made it a choice in
the `zsh-newuser-install` wizard:
https://gitlab.com/marlonrichert/zsh-sensible/-/blob/master/zsh-newuser-install

To safely try out the new wizard, do this:

% cd $(mktemp -d)
% git clone --depth 1 -- https://gitlab.com/marlonrichert/zsh-sensible.git
% unset _comp_dumpfile ZDOTDIR XDG_CACHE_HOME XDG_CONFIG_HOME XDG_DATA_HOME
% FPATH=$PWD/zsh-sensible:$FPATH HOME=$PWD PS1='%# ' exec zsh

Then the wizard will start automatically, but without affecting your
current dotfiles.
