The implication in the default 15 seconds was that go-apt-cacher is supposedly used more often for (private) repositories with frequent updates.
That said, I agree the current default is a bit too short for public repositories. I think changing the default to 600 seconds is safer.
The default is 15 seconds. My concern is, if this utility comes into widespread use, won't it put a large load on the upstream servers? The whole point of having an apt-cache is to reduce the load on the upstream servers. Can you say what the rationale for 15s was? What would be the downsides of setting this to, say 3601s?
