We are working on a general upgrade to the cache API to enable plugins to do more, but that's not going to be done in the near future and even then it's very unlikely we will change this aspect. The problem is this increases the memory requirements massively and currently we have people who are having problems with sufficient ram for their (multi-hundred terabyte) caches.
