Well, if one needs to reclaim the disk space, one could just kill all
the caches. Caches should not be authoritative, so they will rebuild
then automatically.

Although this is not super-clean, it is maybe much simpler than
implementing some complex thing to manage this. Especially considering
that moin2 might be very different then.

Yes, if you need it in production mode quickly, use 1.9.
