to me cache is something that speeds up operation but does not hold |
| 15 |
content of real value. with layman overlay "checkouts" that's a bit |
| 16 |
different. let's say a host overlay is taken offline: now the layman |
| 17 |
copy is my only source. Page [1] describes /var/cache as |
| 18 |
"Long term data which can be regenerated". so to me it's not a cache |
| 19 |
because there might be data in there that we cannot regenerate. |
