Should Pkg put a CACHEDIR.TAG file in e.g. .julia/packages, .julia/registries, .julia/clones etc? See https://bford.info/cachedir/. It seems like this proposal hasn't gained that much traction, but it is supported by e.g. GNU tar (see the --exclude-caches flag) and borg (same flag).

cargo does this since some days ago: rust-lang/cargo#10553

Should be fairly easy to add this and it seems like it is getting traction so why not.
