Well, multiple experienced users are telling you that this is a real
problem. You certainly don't have to agree, but when a bunch of other
people who are smart and experienced think that something is a
problem, I think you should consider the possibility that those people
know what they are talking about.

Sure, but I don't want the application to have to know about that, and
I don't really think the driver should need to know about that either.
Your point, as I understand it, is that sufficiently good query
caching in the driver can ameliorate the problem, and I agree with
that. But that makes it the job of every driver to implement some
sort of cache, which IMHO isn't a very reasonable position. When
there's a common need that affects users of many different programming
languages, the server should make it easy to meet that need, not
require every driver to implement query caching.
