True, although most digests we see do not change much with time so a digest
rebuild should not affect number of false hits served/rejected much.

Other cases probably include non-Squid (more precisely non-digest-aware)
peers that will be able to get some objects without fetching our digest.
Not a problem, IMO (and can be fixed using false_hit_access acl anyway).

The best solution is to handle false hits on the peer side, but while we are
working on that [complex] code, we could use this [simple] workaround.
