IMO it has to be applied. Tom objected on the grounds that cache
invalidation has to be fixed properly but that's a major restructuring
of code that worked this way for a long time. So changing the Assert()
to reflect that seems fair to me.
I'd adapt the tests with a sentence explaining what they test, on a
first look they are pretty obscure...
