For now, I'm gonna approach Otto directly about this. While I understand the 
case against caching in the core, I believe there's a strong case for many 
optimization methods in the core. This makes it easier for developers to 
optimize their sites and all plugins will have access to optimization 
resources.

Let's hope so!
