I apologize if my questions seem stupid.  I am definitely a beginner.  I'm
trying to figure out three things:

#1: Will mv_tmp_session solve my search engine indexing problems when 4.9
comes out or should I start digging into one of the other solutions that has
been mentioned?  It WILL solve those problems if it keeps id= and mv_pc=
from being generated into the URL.  Is that the case?

#2: Will using mv_tmp_session still allow me to set [data session source] to
a variable, evaluate the variable, and then set [data session source] to a
cookie?

#3: Also, will the absence of mv_pc=### in the URL cause any problems as far
as page caching?  For example: with a single user, would an item displayed
as In Stock still be displayed as In Stock later on when it is Out of Stock?

If I can figure these three things out, I will be able to make an informed
decision about my search engine indexing dilemna.  Thank you!
