Can we do that without breaking backwards compatibility? For instance, if I
have an old proxy config, and I upgrade to a new glib-networking / libsoup,
will I, as a user, have to re-set it for the new path layouts? Do we have a
migration tool to fix things like this?

(My local copy of glib actually has those deprecation warnings commented
out, because nobody has fixed them and they're difficult to fix without
breaking things, and warnings that nobody will ever fix is bad)
