OK. I have fixes for the bookmark/folder/referrer lack of invalidation
bugs in my workspace. I'll check them in if there are no objections,
and if someone promises to review them. That's not saying there aren't
more missing invalidations, and I'm inclined to support retaining the
maintenance page. As a side note, it also lets you force a rebuild of
the search index.

Just confirmed we still have the bookmark change / no cache
invalidation bug anyway.

Agree that it should be redundant, but I should say I have needed to
use it in the past. I think the particular bug I was hitting was
that after changing bookmarks or removing referrers (can't remember
which, may have been both), I used to have to clear the cache to make
the change appear. Haven't done this recently (just haven't changed
those; rarely add a bookmark, and I no longer display referrers),
and I know the cache code has changed somewhat in recent versions so
it may have been fixed too. I'll try testing for it.
It is really just a CYA measure for bugs where we somewhere forget to
invalidate the cache, but we may have users that were working around
something like me (shame on me) rather than reporting it (or in my
case, hunting it down).

I'm not sure this worth the effort to add back in. Users should not
need to flush the cache. If they do, we have a bug. - Dave

Along these same lines, I had noticed that the user maintenance
page went missing in 2.0 as well. I wasn't sure if this was on
purpose, but it is nice to have an easy way for users to clear
their cache if they need to.
