Do we want/need to backport it actually?

The whole "return cached value if present, otherwise calculate but don't
update the cached value" apporach always seemed off to me. Might be a
good idea to change it somehow. Maybe just always calculate it, or do
the cached value updates in sensible places so that you only have to
calculate once. But I haven't actually checked how much work that
would entail.
