It would be useful to have the tl_cache table back. Not for holding the cache buffer, but for keeping track of the cache files.

For large sites, it might be useful to delete only individual caches, and not the whole cache (tmp folder). I wrote an extension for this, http://www.contao.org/wiki/extensions:cachemanager.

With the new cache system, it is impossible to track which pages are cached. If we could have this table holding information about the page and a link/name of the file, the functionality would be back. The database only needs to be touched when the cache is created, not when it is fetched from filesystem, so it is not slowing down the system.
