Samat's locations are probably to be preferred, though I don't hold
strong opinions.  What is important is that if the default location is
changed, then existing users should not lose their settings or their
cache - whether that's by migration, or by preserving the current
location, doesn't really matter.  Either way, it would mean adding
code that needs to work, so the benefit needs to be shown to outweigh
that.
