The intention from the start was to remove the encode/decode methods because they have been made unnecessary thanks to the changes mentioned in the description. As the author of the previously mentioned changes that overhauled the cpcache, this change should have been included in one of those PRs, but I must have forgotten! Leaving the calls in even if they did nothing would just make the code confusing and might become a red herring if other issues in the area come up.
