Comment:

 @dcavins Thank you for your work on this. The strategy here looks like the
 right one.

 > Finally, this change doesn't replace the user-specific friendship cache
 as introduced in 2.5. I think there's still value to having that cached,
 since it is used in friendship calls that refer to all friendships for a
 user.

 Yes, I think that's a sensible approach. I do think there's room to
 improve that system in ways [comment:16 I mentioned above], but for the
 purposes of `check_is_friend()`, your proposed changes in this ticket
 allow us to kick that question down the road.

 If anyone on this ticket runs a site with users with lots of friends and
 is able to run some tests, it'd be helpful. Otherwise, I'm happy with the
 approach - though another look from @r-a-y would be welcome too.
