Description Brion Vibber 2006-04-19 22:43:09 UTC
Temporary server problems can cause errors in rendering of images and 
math; the cached entries then sit around for hours/days/weeks, and 
people whine about them long after the problem is solved.

It would be valuable if such errors could set a flag on the 
ParserOutput object for an early cache expiration.

(Some limited time, rather than no caching at all, is probably wise
to limit load during the problem period.)

I guess this request is still valid - see e.g. bug 61041 for a recent Math example.
