Yes, we treated CacheStorage as cache, and got report from web developers about CacheStorage data disappears (since cache can be evicted in certain conditions, but data will not), so we are going to fix this by migration to general directory.

For deprecated types I think we are going to leave them as it is now, and delete their data (and related code) at some point.
