No worries, all is cool. Thank you for the apology.

I know we've been chatting some on IRC, so just for the benefit of
others watching the bug...

I am happy to have this bit of caching turned off. I was under the
impression that the memcached infrastructure was evolving and that we
were looking to create some simple form of invalidation that would fix
this and other uses like this. If that work isn't or shouldn't be
done for a while, then we definitely don't want odd data when the
gains of memcached usage are not that high.

The caching of the hot bugs list was done initially as part of other
"the db is on fire!" work and was never meant as a replacement for
fixing other timeout issues.

Cheers,
