[Opensim-dev] Please do not revert fixes without carefulcomtemplation [text][bayes]

[Melanie]

OpenSim, and the client, are full of "eternal caches". They don't 
update, there is no TTL, and no update check. Assets are immutable 
by design and the applications are written to assume that assets 
will never change. Therefore, the caches never expire.
