Home Page Not Purged When Updated

When I edit a page and save it, that page is purged from the cache–except for the home page. When I edit and save the home page, I must either clear the entire cache, which for me takes some time to re-warm, or manually delete the home page files from the cache folder.

Is this behavior intentional or a mistake? If it’s a mistake, can someone please correct it in a future release?

If it’s intentional, why is that? Why would you want to continue to present an old version of the home page after changes have been made to it, OR why do you want people to purge the entire cache after updating only the home page?

Thank you!
