Why? People used to do that with cached because they had limited space and wanted to purge the cache with an LRU algorithm to keep size down, but disk space is too cheap to worry about now. If an item in the cache is okay to stay there as long as people are accessing it, you are essentially saying that cached items never become invalid. In that case, why bother ever deleting any of them? - Perrin
