Hello, one question regarding new-type `Result`s: what is planned to happen to `store_safe_value`? At first sight, it seems to be redundant to `Result`'s formatted location.

You’re exactly right! `store_safe_value` is going away from the pipeline code. You might be interested to see the current latest and greatest on that in this PR: <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/pull/2391/files>

From the cloud perspective, which is what `store_safe_value` was all about, we serialize a `Result`s formatted filename direct off its attribute instead of through the `SafeResult` interface, since it’s available there now.

This looks like the missing puzzle piece. Thx for digging it up Laura, and the amazing work on PIN-16 as well!

Without too much digging, one more question: will `target: Result` or `:Type[Result]` still be necessary for the desired caching behaviour?

That is the idea, though tbh we are still deciding to some degree how it will merge or coexist with the existing convenient `cache_key`/`cache_for`/etc task kwargs

If you have any opinions on that and/or any psudocode of how you’d ideally configure caching using new style Results if you could, please do let me know :slightly_smiling_face:
