My apologize, I misunderstood you there. When you change the internal
structure, older versions will not work there is no way around that. But
hey, at least they will not do any harm, just panic on missing
directories. For that reason, short-path enableing shall be optional for
some longer time. It's an new feature which makes things possible which
are imposible currently.
