Thanks for the insight, Russ. Would you comment on what the potential consequences of opting out of background refreshes would be? Could there be any adverse effects for users?
The background refresh is meant to prefetch for that situation, to avoid putting that time on an actual user request. It's not perfect but it's far less disruptive than having to set GOPRIVATE.
...but it sounds like disabling background refreshes would have strictly better end-user performance than what the Sourcehut team had been planning as described in their blog post today (GOPRIVATE and whatnot)?
