GAC was surely the recommended way until .NET 4.0, when the location changed.

No, the recommended way was to install your application with all dependency DLLs in the application install location.

And I've misspoken about GAC causing DLL Hell for .NET. It fixed DLL Hell, but introduced a new Strong Naming Hell.

Initially that recommendation only applied to native code DLLs, not managed ones, as far as I can remember.
