Pardon me, the max-size and min-free were not my problem. The problem was
in the "age=-1" which caused "not to delete". Previous setting "age=0"
caused "not to keep" and I have no option "ignore age, use others".

Actually, I think it would be better to use "-1" for each one as "don't
consider this one", in which case "don't delete" would be configurable by
setting all options "max-size", "min-free" and "age" to "-1".

Other possibility is to use age of "0" as "don't consider", because "don't
keep" is already covered by DontCache section.
