 > Yes - I'd seen the plugin and was about to deploy it. The code using
 transients was my own! I've used transients as expiring access-tokens on
 many and various sites. I thought it was great that I *didn't* then have
 to spend any time thinking about cacheing strategy since WordPress had
 core functionality to do that for me.

 seems like a no-brainer - is there any good reason to *not* garbage
 collect expired transients?

 Not that I'm aware of.

 I'm not a Core developer so not in a position to do it myself. However, I
 know Andrew (Nacin) is keen to get this included - I guess it's just a
 case of time and priorities.

 David.
