We should be wary of both a) jumping from broad requirements ("large
deployments would benefit from local redistribution of updates") to actions
("let's put apt-cacher in main") and b) focusing too much on niche use cases
when there are issues facing a large number of users which need to be
addressed.
If this is worth addressing, then it is worth thinking through and
considering other possible solutions.
