My personal feeling is that I'd prefer to get callbacks, rather than
have to wait 10 minutes to find out that files I'm using have changed.
Also, the fact that it requires a 1.4.1 server means that most of the
servers I contact (which I do not control) are not going to have this patch
for a while..   So, I'd like to see a client-side "throw extra network
usage at the problem" patch in place.
