I love the title change that totally hides the scale of the issue. Good job poster/mods.

I agree. My first reaction was "what the fuck's an 'M'?"

I'm aware of that, and thought that "downgraded" was the wrong word to use when going from 1h to 5 months.

Whether a longer or shorter cache TTL is considered a downgrade depends on the context, so the title is ambiguous to laymen.

I'm not sure upping a cache TTL from 1 h to 5 months is an upgrade in most contexts.

Several thoughts went through my head before I realized what's wrong:

1. I guess longer caching means more stale data, which is why it's a downgrade? 2. Maybe this isn't the TTL I thought it was? 3. Maybe this isn't the cache I thought?

Then I clicked on the link and realized I had been mislead my the title.
