What's there to discuss? ccache has been in TODO for quite some time. If someone think an update might be problematic, one should add a comment in TODO.

I prefer ccache v4 to stay in devel/ccache. Adding devel/ccache4 might be problematic when v5 comes out. We've seen this kind of versioning problems before.

Kind regards,
