This is kinda silly. The point is that all PM's generate certain

The historical view of VDB being some kind of "cache" rather than a "DB"
is one of the reasons we're having to tidy up the dynamic dependencies
mess...
Indeed, some of VDB might not be something we wish to mandate as
"cache". But some of it should be, like the examples I gave. This is
our opportunity to think this out carefully and only export what is
meaningfully cacheable information. So when I submit version 2, let's
keep that in mind with respect to any of the items I say should be "cached".
