Comment (by peterwilsoncc):
I haven't thought too much about implementation details.
At the very least I think we'd need an HTTP header to indicating the cron
jobs are bypassed. As [https://wordpress.org/plugins/batcache/ batcache]
(the most popular full page caching drop-in) doesn't cache empty pages,
we'd probably want some output to signal the page can be cached.
Response codes and messaging can be figured out if it's decided this is
appropriate to add to WP Core.
