I lean the central cache way. But I can be convinced otherwise.
I agree that central caching is a good idea, but think a single central cache is overly simplistic. Traditional unix systems have /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin -- each with its purpose -- as well as miscellaneous other directories in the PATH. MS boxes have a similar thing with c:\windows... and c:\progra~1...

Speaking of Windows, I'm pretty sure the "central cache" currently does the wrong thing on implementations where drive letters are interpreted as host or device instead of directory (as in e.g. cygwin). Which implementations are they? Can someone using one of them come up with something that works? I opened this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/asdf/+bug/556217
