In any case, I would not want to see file cache removed until CDN support was evaluated, documented, and cleaned up, so people have an easy alternative in it's place. For example, if a bunch of confusing vcls are needed to use varnish, then few will go through the effort.
I don't think our Squid/Varnish support deserves to be called CDN support. A CDN is usually a third-party system, like Akamai or Limelight, and we don't have any support for those. For text, we don't even support stock Squid/Varnish. We require patches and custom configuration for Squid. We haven't even managed to migrate text to Varnish ourselves yet -- only Wikia have done that. It's a lot to ask of a newbie with no time to spend.
