Comment(by coling):

 So assuming we adopt this for 1.0 in a month or so, you're happy that
 anyone running PA 1.0 with NFS home on a non-systemd system will basically
 have a broken system (unless ~/.cache is symlinked to a local filesystem -
 on fairly recent systems I've checked, ~/.cache is just a normal dir even
 on NFS)?

 I'm not really happy with that seeing as I'm the one that would have to
 deal with all the flack...

 I'd be happy enough using XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if it's set, but falling back to
 ~/.cache is something I'd very much like to avoid, at least until distros
 fix ~/.cache on NFS to be a symlink or tmpfs or similar and/or adopt
 systemd and/or adopt some other XDG_RUNTIME_DIR setter...

 FWIW, I'm more than happy with the principles, especially as it would
 solve #622 :)
