I've heard a similar comment from a Japanese user.
Yes, some (many) of us need hcache and it hurts no one as long as
it is turned off by default.
Thomas, you can write a big warning in the manual if you are
skeptical of the stability/security of hcache.
You can assign the maintenance task to Thomas Glanzmann
if you don't want to do it yourself. (Because he is doing it.)
The first target of hcache was Maildir, and it was done
by Michael Elkins the father of mutt. Don't forget Maildir hcache.
