Log message for revision 93124:
  Changed the dropped-cache event to a StaleCache event that's published
  whenever the cache is stale. This is generated before dropping a cache
  and starting cold so that an application can take more drastic
  measures. The stale-cache event also now has a storage attribute with
  the storage that has a stale cache.
