Comment (by ivanp):
It's not just about our plugin. I believe this function will resolve many
other issues across the board. We saw users with tech knowledge
invalidating the cache directly in the DB to answer their various use
cases. But that's the power users. The regular editors will be happy to
get this function too.
As to our plugin particularly, I am proud with the way it currently
smoothly integrates into native WP functions so that the solution is
future-proof for any changes you guys make in the core. Well, except this
approach stumbled in 4.0 where the core assumed that embeds won't change,
whereas it is not the case. There are various other plugins that let
people customize YouTube options, etc. Even changing system-wide maxwidth
parameter would require embeds to be re-query-ed (whereas I think it's not
the case at the moment)
As it stands, the core gives a user the control over everything except
embeds previews. I believe it should be improved :)
