Yes, Key is a solution to the "problem" of caching Prefer (and other similar header fields). But the problem only exists where there are multiple independent uses of Prefer in the same request. My current understanding is that there isn't a whole lot of enthusiasm for taking on the complexity of Key, but primarily because it's not actually clear that the problem is serious enough to warrant solving. In other words, the medicine could be worse than the illness. Please don't let this sort of minutiae stop you from doing the right thing.
