Wouldn't be surprised. ;) The only problem is that with CACHE_NONE, many things (specifically, throttling mechanisms) won't work since the cache isn't persistent across requests.

That would be a mediawiki bug though. Does throtling actually work with cache_db now? I remember it used to only work with the memcached backend. Anyways if that's been fixed, throtling should be changed to use CACHE_ANY so it actually works in all configs.
