While some programs seem to violate it (for example, XFCE seems to store
persistent session information there), the XDG cache directory is
supposed to be allowed to be ephemeral, specifically so you can put it
on a ramdisk or etc. (The browser cache is a specific case in point.)

I might also suggest that a local cachefs might be a good idea for such
a system in general.
