Not sure. It would make sense to generalize the HEAD invalidation to
also apply to GET responses. i.e. copy the text from HEAD to GET as
well. There is a whole family of uncachable responses, and the result
things can get very surprising  if caches do not invalidate the older
copy when the resource has obviously changed even if the current
representation can not be cached..

But no-store in itself is not a parameter to that decision, only the
fact that the response is significantly different from the cached copy.

And it's not about caches deleting the cached copy, only invalidating it
(threat it as stale on future requests).
