Should every person that hosts an instance of SourceHut, Gitea, or Forgejo have to opt-in to this? That just doesn't scale at all. Drew is standing up for all independent hosters as much as he is standing up for his own business interests.

No other independent hosters are having issues. I'm on one with no more than a few dozen users. Multiple of us write in Go, including the owner of the service, and yet Gitea and the VPS hosting it have never even blinked. If there were more of an issue, there would be more of a fuss than just two individuals. And one of those individuals was completely satisfied with the temporarily hackjob while a more permanent solution has been in the works. The other just denied it with no reason ever given cause he wants to keep litigating the issue.

I could be wrong but in comments to https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44577 issue there at least 4 hosters that forced to manually disable background refresh because of this exactly issue?

How are you getting that number? There's Drew, who refused all solutions offered. There's Ben, who took the offer and was satisfied. If you're counting Gentoo, which is linked, you shouldn't because that's an unrelated issue caused by a regression test.
