 :app:`Pyramid` includes two ready to use cache buster implementations: 
 :class:`~pyramid.static.PathSegmentCacheBuster`, which inserts an asset token
 in the path portion of the asset's URL, and 
 :class:`~pyramid.static.QueryStringCacheBuster`, which adds an asset token to
-the query string of the asset's URL.  Both of these classes have constructors
-which accept a token generator function as an argument, allowing for the way a
-token is generated to be decoupled from the way it is inserted into a URL.  
-:app:`Pyramid` provides a single asset token generator, 
-:meth:`~pyramid.static.Md5AssetTokenGenerator`.

+In order to implement your own cache buster, you can write your own class from
+scratch which implements the :class:`~pyramid.interfaces.ICacheBuster`
+interface.  Alternatively you may choose to subclass one of the existing
+implementations.  One of the most likely scenarios is you'd want to change the
+way the asset token is generated.  To do this just subclass an existing
+implementation and replace the :meth:`~pyramid.interfaces.ICacheBuster.token`
+method.  Here is an example which just uses a global setting for the asset
