A heap dump shows thousands of objects retained in a static cache. How do you validate whether removing it is safe?
Tests whether you'd check if the cache has any eviction policy at all (unbounded caches are the real bug, not caching itself) and trace whether removing/bounding it breaks correctness elsewhere that relies on it being warm -- rather than ripping it out and assuming the symptom alone justifies that.
