It's not clear to me if it would be wrecking havoc. After all, if a
format can't be expanded *at all*, there is something wrong, and adding
things to the end of a line is a common structured way of expansion.
Hence the original query

Any query that's within a repository is fairly easily cachable
post-generation. The front page (and its RSS variant) is a bit of an
exception, because it involves all repositories at once.
Doesn't mean we couldn't do better, but...
