 Agreed. I'd yet to see a theme that has anywhere near 100 levels deep of a
 folder structure. If that's the case, the theme is the problem.

 Again we've introduced unintended consequences to core by fixing a problem
 that never needed to be solved in the first place.

 +1 to revert any form of caching around this and maybe revisit the changes
 in r41806 to see what problem they're solving and if this is even
 appropriate.

 Nobody should be forced to use WP_DEBUG, nor should another useless button
 to purge this unnecessary transient be added somewhere in wp-admin.

 As a developer, if I deploy a file update to a client site (live or
 staging) I should be able to use that template right away. Not be forced
 to wait up to an hour just for the cache to expire to select it. Think of
 the poor experience that a user is going to experience if they update a
 file in a theme and can't select it? That goes against the goals of the
 project plain and simple.
