That sounds reasonable.

Or a small feature ;)

That delete function i described is wired to different user interfaces.

Not sure which semantics are better really, both would work. With delete now semantics, contexts tied to instances will clearly stop functioning. There will be less risk of confusing context tied to a deleted cache with context tied to renewed caches. With make obsolete semantics, the manifest url will be the same for each, but if you look very closely... one will say OBSOLETE for the appacche status display and the other will say IDLE... but may be too subtle of an outcome after explicitly pressing the delete button.
