Can you add it to SyFi as well please? But we don't want this in
development versions though, we should at least have an option
to avoid it.

Even better would be adding version numbers to the checksum,
make instant keep a most recently used list, add a max cache size
option to ~/.instant/intantrc, and let instant clean up the oldest
modules whenever it adds stuff to the cache which exceeds its
quota.

And we should probably add another feature to instant:
providing a cache subfolder name. Then instant-clean can
take an argument to clean only the "ffc" cache subfolder etc.
