Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 Replying to [comment:44 dd32]:
 +1 to everything Dion said.

 Transient data is transient. Even if an expiration time is attached to
 cached data, it exists under the expectation that the data will disappear
 at any time and should therefore have a method available to immediately
 regenerate data or provide temporary data until it has been regenerated.

 There are so many possible object caching configurations in the wild right
 now, any attempts to treat transients as anything other than an
 unreliable* and temporary data store are likely failing already.

 ,,* In which unreliable is not a bad thing. :),,
