From https://www.w3.org/mid/9F36A6F8-0276-4F8C-B063-C4619901EBB1@webfactory.de:

Both state that a (depending on context private, shared or both types of) "cache MAY store the response and reuse it for later requests, even if the response would normally be non-cacheable".

To my understanding, this does not intend to override the requirements from the "Storing Responses in Caches" section (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cache-06#section-3) altogether. Instead, I would assume that it only refers to the condition "has a status code that is defined as heuristically cacheable" in that section (or, as it was stated in RFC7234, "has a status code that is defined as cacheable by default")?

Would it make sense to amend the list of conditions in that section, appending to the "the response either..." second-level list: "contains a private response directive if the cache is not shared"?

Restore some 2616 wording on public, must-revalidate, and proxy-revalidate

This ended up being an editorial change between drafts because the only normative changes were already noted for #264 and #268, and this is just rewording what we had for #161.
