In specifyweb/settings/specify_settings.py

THICK_CLIENT_LOCATION = '/opt/Specify'
THICK_CLIENT_LOCATION = '/opt/specify7'

they move the files from /opt/Specify to /opt/specify7?
(Though I guess this is assuming they are overwriting their current specify_settings.py on update, which might not be the wisest thing to do in the first place).

Can we instead keep the old name of the directory /opt/Specify/ so we aren't risking anybody's configuration immediately breaking?

At the very least, if we keep this new name, can we provide instructions on how to update and what the change means?

Even if we keep the THICK_CLIENT_LOCATION as /opt/Specify, it'd be nice to include instructions on how people can update to using the new defaults.

Docker compositions specifically reference the location, so folks would need to be made aware that this location has changed.
