If you look at the session cache code you'll see very quickly that nothing about it is easy.

Asking for features is done with JIRA by filing issues or commenting on existing issues. Features that take a lot of effort or require a lot of consensus on approach are considered in light of the membership status or lack thereof of the person or organization asking, basically.

The client side support is really about reducing support burden. I can't support the clustering options that exist to the standard that I would expect of myself and so there needs to be one I can support. Unfortunately it's one that makes timeout and logout enforcement impossible in the bargain.
