I was just reading at stackexchange and I got this nasty error:

IIRC it is not supposed to affect just any request. Only;
 a) the revalidation updates to HIT content need max-age, and that is to ensure newer data comes back.
 b) sibling cache requests, because the content retrieved from a sibling cache is supposed to be cacheable (thus within max storable age).

That (b) situation is one we probably should remove. But it needs someone to analyse the use cases and figure out what should be going on now in the HTTP/1.1 era.
