--- Comment #1 from Tim Starling <[email protected]> ---
Your wording suggests that you don't know what that code does. The change is
for a specific kind of Squid update.

My change disabled Squid updates for pages that use a given template or image
when there are more than 500 pages to purge. Re-enabling it would have caused
the problem to recur: specifically apache overload due to the squid cache of a
substantial fraction (say 10%) of the pages on the English Wikipedia being
simultaneously purged.

Aaron's recent changes in this area caused updates of small sets of pages to
also be disabled. They also made updates of templates with millions of
invocations more robust, making it even more likely to cause disaster if the
Squid update were simply re-enabled.
