Indeed, some of VDB might not be something we wish to mandate as |
12 |
"cache". But some of it should be, like the examples I gave. This is |
13 |
our opportunity to think this out carefully and only export what is |
14 |
meaningfully cacheable information. So when I submit version 2, let's |
15 |
keep that in mind with respect to any of the items I say should be "cached". |
