Due to continues backward compatibility, you can not change them even 
you wish.

You can always deprecate old functionality in favor of new solutions. 
I'd be hard pressed to find a reason to find a reason why something 
*can't* be deprecated. It may not be easy at times, but it should always 
be doable.

As long as your framework doesn't require you to fight with it in order 
to use another solution. One of my early gripes with Django for example 
(ages ago) was that it felt like I had to fight the framework in order 
to introduce functionality that wasn't natively supported.

It doesn't matter if you're using cached content or not. It will *not* 
be as fast as a hard-coded, simple response (not that a static, 
hard-coded response is the way to go obviously). I don't think I have to 
get into the details about I/O. My point is simply that the statement 
that a database driven site (cached content or not), *can not* be as 
fast as a "hello world" app. My comment may be construed as being 
nit-picky, but I thought it was worth calling out due to the 
matter-of-fact wording that you used.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I caught a minor typo in the content-cache 
docs:

"Since there is no heavy processing and just simple operation to get an 
item from cache it should be supper fast"

I don't know about you, but my supper generally isn't fast ;)
