I believe the plan is to also have them collected directly from users.

Oh $deity, please no. That's a security nightmare waiting to happen.

Debatable, but off-topic either way; happy to chat about it offline.

Maybe that's just me, but if this series allows 3rd parties to ship and
run code from untrusted sources, then I don't see how this is off-topic.

It's rather that sort of topic that should not be discussed offline.

One could argue that it would be a good idea for Mesa to check that the cache directory isn't writable by other users in the system, or that the cache files are owned by the same user as the process. That's probably the extent of the security aspect Mesa would have to worry about for that feature.
