I'm not sure what the timeframe is on 1.0.1.
What problem with the cache are you referring to? I'm aware of a problem where if some fonts are moved or removed after the cache is created matplotlib will crash (and this problem is fixed in the trunk), but is that really a problem in everyday practice? I'm just curious -- if there's another issue with the cache that I'm not aware of, I'd like to fix it.
