emacsclient already has the '-s SOCKET' option. Plus, you can set 
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (or unset it) in the environment before invoking 
emacsclient. As far as I can see, this should let users avoid the 
problems Michael describes. (And if I'm wrong, what further emacsclient 
option would be useful?)

Unsetting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR should get the pre-27 behavior in emacsclient.

PS. One really should know what one is doing to be playing with this 
stuff (due to security reasons), and unless I'm missing something the 
people who know what they're doing should be able to get the behavior 
they want by using the knobs that are already in master.
