Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:43 jhpalmieri]:
 > As long as you're pretty confident that the tables will be compatible
 with future versions. (We ran into this problem with `IPython` and
 `matplotlib`, which is why their directories in `DOT_SAGE` include the
 version number.)

 The format hasn't changed since version 2.2.3, and the current version
 already is 4 years old. So, I don't think there will be changes any time
 soon.

 Moreover, if we really need to change it, we can create all multiplication
 tables (we have bounded field size) in a fraction of a second during
 package installation.
