 Replying to [comment:6 nacin]:
 > "Currently plugin and theme developers pass strings and other types as
 expirations" - any evidence for this to show just how bad things are?

 Quickly going through the
 [https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aplugins.svn.wordpress.org+wp_cache_set+OR+wp_cache_add+OR+wp_set_transient&oq=site%3Aplugins.svn.wordpress.org+wp_cache_set+OR+wp_cache_add+OR+wp_set_transient&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.5063j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=site%3Aplugins.svn.wordpress.org+wp_cache_set+OR+wp_cache_add+OR+wp_set_transient&start=0
 plugin repo] it looks like many developers are not even setting
 expirations.  I couldn't find one using a string.
