I often test my own packages in a separate files that are not part of any project - for various examples, while trying to cleanly debug things and so on. If I understand correctly, new develop mode is fundamentally unable to support this workflow without creating a new project and running everything via nimble. Or I have to symlink my packages to `~/.nimble`.
In other cases new workflow must be beneficial, but it is still very surprising that feature of this scale has been added without an RFC process, let alone replacing older one. This has been mentioned on <https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/issues/127#issuecomment-455919442> (last part of the comment), so maybe I missed separate discussion regarding this feature change?
