I'm not sure it's worth it tbh. It's certainly going to be error prone to store
the frontend configuration in two locations (Fastly and front.python.org).
There might be additional things we can do on the Fastly side of things, I know
the have the ability to have dedicated IP addresses in all their DCs (typically
this is in use for providing EV SSL certs and the like). We don't have that
and generally this costs like $1500/month for the SSL cert stuff. I can ping
them about it and see if they have any other ideas.

Right, it's basically that there is no cache invalidation as far as I know.
Actually invalidating the cache pretty much always works in my experience.
