Yes: why tho remove the project-specific libs cache?
2 separate caches for global libs and project is a good idea.

The best is to have a cache for global libs and a project cache for libs
not in global table.

Ideally, global libs could be only really a few libs like power and
device (for eeschema) or resistors, capacitors and a few other for
footprints

Therefore, local lib tables could have more libs than the global table.

The alternate way is for me the way to go.
