Interestingly, the matter was discussed on another issue, #2643. I also agree that ideally flush() should become a no-op (only in 3.2, since it would break compatibility). But then we should also expose a separate sync() method with the current behaviour.

I think you misunderstand. I'm not proposing that flush should become a noop entirely - only for ACCESS_COPY mappings.
