Comment (by flixos90):

 I had seen the `@private` in core somewhere, so for some reason I thought
 it was the way to go (e.g. `__clear_multi_author_cache()`, though that's
 obviously really old). I agree that doesn't really make sense.

 Regarding the change, I think it is good to go into a minor release (now
 with the new cycle at least). It's not a regression, but a minor bugfix
 (regarding the missing `home`) and improvement (less aggressive cache
 invalidation) where I don't see problems arising from. I'd personally lean
 towards backporting it for 4.7.4.
