Philippe,

If you are asking _would_ I use WACacheReapingStrategy, the answer is 
probably no:)

   - I prefer to be explicit that the reaping strategy is a noop, not a
     side effect of the implementation ... GLASS users shouldn't be
     tempted to change it in their applications
   - I want to isolate myself from any future changes to
     WACacheReapingStrategy that may effect it's noop-ness
   - The class WANoReapingStrategy happens to have made it into the wild
     amongst the current GLASS users so I'm disinclined to remove it
