In fact, the change effects both:

Oh so it's not just the cache that will break, but every existing project will need to re-install all packages? I think that's a pretty strong argument for adding some help to automate the transition.
Yeah, you're right... do you have an opinion on what we should do here? I suppose we could drop a symlink from the "old" cache location to the "new" cache location on startup, to ensure the previous cache location remains visible? |

Maybe this is too aggressive / dangerous for 1.0.0 -- let's punt on this one until we can invest the time to provided a guided migration. |

Yeah, that was my feeling too. |
Closes #1211.
