OK, you must be using CouchDB for some kind of analytics, or other batch 
processing, if you can get away for _days_ with stale views. Which is a totally 
valid and important use of CouchDB. But it’s completely different from using it 
in a live user-facing application, where changes need to be reflected pretty 
near instantly. That’s why I’m disagreeing with Jason’s unqualified statements.

If anyone needs an example, consider a typical online shopping site. Let’s say 
the page that shows the contents of your shopping cart is driven by a view 
query. If a customer adds an item to their cart and then goes to view their 
cart a few seconds later, the item had better show up. If it takes 30 seconds 
to show up — let alone a week — that’s going to confuse and annoy users.
