Comment:

 phk any myself have discussed this and we don't see much sense in making a
 change.

 The main motivation for the ticket was that we create a '*' entry in the
 vary string which has no effect on vary processing except for the exotic
 corner case of a '*' request header.

 Changing core code to mark beresp uncacheable after v_b_r if {{{Vary: *}}}
 is present would be an option, but it would change semantics for no
 obvious benefit.
