Not to mention that, barring faults, it's taken care of automatically.
If you don't need to renew the data, it's not renewed.  And it will be
refreshed when it needs it.  So, other than when fixing an actual
problem with your caching of data, it's a waste of time and bandwidth
(yours, and every mirror's) to manually fiddle with it.
