Vps isn't the only reason people might want to use file cache. The person may just not be very experianced, and actually setting up squid could be beyond them. I don't think large amount of foundation resources should be spent on features like file cache. However I still think it should be allowed to exist provided it doesn't cause problems. As far as I can tell, no one has pointed to an active problem its causing other than the feature isn't "perfect". -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
