I actually have no real issues. It works very well to be quite honest. :)

You can find many similar lists in the archives of this mailing list if you
pick a really weird file extension type and search for it plus
"refresh_pattern". eg.
<https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=tgz+refresh_pattern+site%3Awww.squid-cach
e.org>

As for viability. It uses most of the HTTP violation refresh_pattern options
based just on test for "file extension" patterns. I have no doubt that they
cause many things to store and log as HITs but the reliability of the
responses coming out of that cache is suspect.
