First, thank you to all.

Not that I know of. It'd be a great idea, though.

No, that's the wrong place. That control panel is part of Plone core, 
and CacheFu is not installed on many sites. Furthermore, people may not 
be using Varnish, e.g. if they're on Windows.



I was thinking that it would be a product only installed by those running 
Varnish.

Bit, given the template and registration issues, I can see that extending the
maintenance-controlpane isn't the smoothest solution.  I'll investigate adding 
it
to CacheFu or creating a new control panel.

Again, thanks..

Bill
