Comment (by Rarst):

 I think any and all issues that boil down to "this needs to rely on
 transient because..." is up for refactoring. Transients are inherently
 designed and designated to be caching API, which explicitly cannot be
 relied on.

 Between API design and different cache backends there are many things that
 can flush transient out there in the wild. Flush as rare as core upgrade
 is relatively rare and insignificant event for them.
