Are cache sweepers used?

After drawing many virtual blank stares in the IRC channel and finding
zero results on the wiki for ‘sweeper’ I’m left to wonder whether
these are actually officially supported, or are on their way toward
being deprecated. Is there a better way of expiring caches on model
saves and deletions?

Sincerely,

I use several Sweepers in my Rails app with great success. I can’t
vouch
for whether they are “officially” supported (or deprecated), but they
are
working for me right now under Rails 1.0. If you can perhaps give more
specifics as to what information you are looking for regarding Sweeping
I
might be able to help you out.
