I'm not sure what kind of cleanup would be involved, but we had some
problems with index corruption that wasn't fixed until a February patch
was applied. My guess is that earlier versions of Infinite Cache weren't
all that careful with verifying certain edge cases during connection
renegotiation or timeout scenarios. It only seemed to pop up once every
few billion queries, but that's all it takes to bring down a heavy OLTP
system.

I'd say it's probably safe enough these days. But it's also one of those
exclusive selling points they're using right now to garner EDB
customers. So I doubt it'll be released any time *soon*, though may make
it eventually.
