There is one notable exception to the above, which is talk page header templates. One expects updates to a template used as a talk page header to update every page the template is currently transcluded on, which is not happening presently. {{talk header}} is currently transcluded on over 250,000 pages, so were these all Flow pages it would be excessively laborious to edit all of those headers to force a reparsing of the template were it updated. So this functionality, or something similar, should probably be included in the Flow MVP [1] if it's deployed on a larger scale. I think it's fine for now.
That makes perfect sense -- thanks for pointing it out. Stale headers would suck indeed.
And now I'm taking a break from wikimedia-l til Monday. The weather's nice, and the monthly posting limit is starting to loom into view. ;-) Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
