A better solution still would be to use the purge API so that editing a page
purges the cached copy of the page and the update is available to everyone
immediately. This is what PyPI does to allow Fastly to cache things for 1 day
but still have near instant availability of new package uploads and the like.

I just figured i’d mention the kludge since it’s better than trying to wait :)
