I was at one point told that *all* of infinite cache would be submitted to the community, but it was in need of some cleanup first.
I'm not sure what kind of cleanup would be involved, but we had some problems with index corruption that wasn't fixed until a February patch was applied. My guess is that earlier versions of Infinite Cache weren't all that careful with verifying certain edge cases during connection renegotiation or timeout scenarios. It only seemed to pop up once every few billion queries, but that's all it takes to bring down a heavy OLTP system.
I'd say it's probably safe enough these days. But it's also one of those exclusive selling points they're using right now to garner EDB customers. So I doubt it'll be released any time *soon*, though may make it eventually.
