Good point - should have been more explicit . Use of caps should be well tested and limited to the input. Changes to output capacitance could also affect control loop zeros and poles.
If nothing is transferred between C and L, there is no resonance, so a perfect power source is the theoretical answer for the lazy non-thoughtful engineer.

I have seen many cases where they form a resonant circuit with the inductance of wires connected to the supply and make the problem even worse. How about a puzzle? How do you make a non-resonant capacitor using three components?
