Comment (by Bas Couwenberg):

 The AppStream specification doesn't mention backwards compatibility.

 I guess that just using the path and format from the (current)
 specification is sufficient. I'm not aware of any consumers that expect
 the old `/usr/share/appdata` path.

 Alternatively maintain two files with the old and new formats and their
 respective installation path.
