'aggressive mode caching' message [#147764]

I have a basic Drupal 5.1 installation with no changes to core modules and only 1 or 2 added modules.
On the 'Home » Administer » Site configuration' page, I get this message:

The following enabled modules are incompatible with aggressive mode caching and will not function properly: statistics.

Even though I have the Caching Mode set to 'Normal (recommended, no side effects)'.

Either the module is incompatible with normal caching, or the message should be more clear, stating that it will not function properly only if aggressive mode is selected. I propose this rewording if this message is not an error, and is informational:

The following enabled modules are incompatible with aggressive mode caching and will not function properly if aggressive mode caching is selected: statistics.

Version:	5.1	» 5.5
Component:	statistics.module	» system.module

+1 to changing the wording of this message.

This message is actually in the system module in system.admin.inc. The message still applies to 5.5--and in D6, it is even more aggressive, stating, "The following enabled modules are incompatible with aggressive mode caching and will not function properly: ".

I'm not sure what the rules are about changing strings at this point in the development for D5, but I do know that D6 is currently in string freeze. Does that mean that this issue should be changed to D7? If someone could enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.

Version:

5.5

» 6.x-dev

This might get into D6, not sure ... (if someone submits a patch, that is)

Also I'd point out that even normal mode caching has an effect on statistics.module since when a page is cached by Drupal in the DB on the server then Drupal also sends cache header stuff to the browser with the result that the browser may subsequently display the page from its own cache, and Drupal never sees the page request.
