 Sorry for getting your job title wrong.

 > Most of WP is designed ''not'' to use key-based invalidation generally,
 so this was a pretty big conceptual change to the design of the cache
 system as a whole; moving back to regular keying I think makes the most
 sense and keeps it consistent. I can see a case for key-based
 invalidation, but WP was never really designed for that, so switching it
 has caused some issues.

 Sorry, are your for or against this change. I find this message unclear.

 BTW, I understand this is a big change, which is why I want the feedback
 from the community.
