Presets and styles are cached for 7 days. After this time, everyone
should be using your new version.

Currently there is no way to "push" an update earlier, do you think this
is necessary?

Btw., we have a cache folder now (~/.josm/cache). To get rid of old or
potentially broken cache, it suffices to delete this folder.

@team: We cannot update imagery entries at the moment. For example, the
new menu icons aren't loaded for existing installations. Probably there
will be more serious issues in the future.
The most obvious fix would be, to add a permanent id for each entry.

On a related note, the <shape> entries make the Maps page hard to read
and edit. Should we move this data to an extra file? An additional
advantage would be, that one shape could be referenced by multiple entries.
