This is reasonable because our Apache processes automatically exit after a certain period of time (100 requests or memory limit) which caps the length of time that they're possibly out of date, and we use memcache for most lookups which doesn't require synchronization.
So the "risk" here is pretty minimal IMO and we aren't really using this system going forward.
