Comment (by natrius):
This seems like a problem that should be ameliorated somehow for Django
1.3. The setting seems to have been added before `CacheMiddleware`
respected `Vary` headers in order to prevent user-specific pages from
being cached and shown to other users. That is no longer possible, so the
setting should be removed. At the minimum, the setting should be marked as
deprecated in the documentation instead of touted as a useful feature so
people don't keep using a broken, unnecessary setting. If we want users to
be able to save memory by not caching user-specific pages, I have a patch
to do that with a separate setting, but `CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY`
must die soon. My patch provides a reasonable transition behavior for
existing users of the setting before it goes away completely.
