+1 to have fallback option and possibility to clear the cache. Some 
caching related bugs could be hidden for the longer time and found by 
someone later at production (for example something not properly 
invalidated during realm update etc). If we have the option, we can ask 
people to try clear the cache to verify if there is really caching 
related issue or not.
