Yes, I think that <defaultCache /> should be the default for *all* caches.

And, there probably should be 1 xml cache config file.

No, if we change code, caches might not be the same (we will need to
check), unless <defaultCache /> always matches hardcoded defaults.

And, the cache config file(s) should include helpful text explaining
what that particular cache does :-)

And, perhaps the grouper daemon (or a scheduled job ?) should collect
hit and miss counts from all caches and store them in a table somehow,
with timestamps, to provide cache usage statistics. For example, after
running ldappcng, a deployer might like to know if they should
increase cache sizes for particular caches.
