While a lot of the comments are a bit misguided, I think it is clear that quite a few mappers use this dirty trick to get the render to refresh. As OSM.org is supposed to be a mapper's tool and not a general public website, I think it is quite obvious that a forced-tile-refresh function is within the scope of the website.
There is a cargo cult belief that you need to force dirty the tile at the renderer but that is almost never the case - any changes to nodes and ways will automatically dirty the relevant tiles. Only changes to relations are not handled automatically.
Now there was a bug for much of last week where that wasn't happening properly - that was fixed on Friday morning and all the missed tile expiries were processed over the next 24 hours.
What is normally an issue is the squid caches that sit in front of the renderers, but a simple shift-reload will bust those caches and in fact a manual dirty will do nothing at all to help with those.
