Comment (by nacin):

 Doesn't seem like it would need a new group all together. The key in the
 posts cache group could simply be ancestors-$id.

 That said, breaking compatibility with $post->ancestors is definitely not
 something we can get away with right now. Perhaps after the success of
 WP_Theme, someone (me?) might take a crack at a proper WP_Post in a future
 release, which could alleviate back compat issues.

 I did very quick grep in the plugins directory for 'post->ancestors' and
 stopped it after seeing at least 50 plugins (100s of instances) using it.
