resimprove was from 2010, CACHE FLUSH is from 2013. Discussions on
flushing caches when bad things happen have been going on for much
much longer than that.

I'd rather see an imperfect solution that anyone can use soon, instead
of hoping that perhaps someone will eventually, maybe solve the issue
sometime in the future.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
