--------------------------------------

I would not see this bug a release blocker since it has been like this for a bit.

> The file storage behavior in the {{FileCache}} is inconsistent and depends whether we're accessing a file or zipped folder.
> In case of a file we return the file returned from the {{PermanentBlobService}} as is, in this case the blobserver takes care of deleting the file _at some point_.
> In case of a directory (that is implicitly zipped!) we extract the zip into a separate storage directory and delete the zip afterwards (the deletion in particular is questionable as it interferes with the blob server).
> The underlying issue to me is that the responsibilities between the {{PermanentBlobService}} and {{FileCache}} aren't clearly laid out, and they actually seem a bit redundant.
> We may want to change the FIleCache to be a thin wrapper around the {{PermanentBlobService}} that only takes care of unzipping directories and setting executable flags.
