I suspect they have a problem with this DDoS by default unless you ask to opt out behavior. Why is anyone getting hit with these expensive background refreshes until you have a chance to do it right? Why is it still not done right 2 years after this was first reported?

Maybe it should be an opt-in list where the big providers (such as github) can be hit by an army of bots and everyone else is safe by default.

And why isn't this a priority? These folks are offering a service that benefits the Go ecosystem.

It smells like Go is on its way out.

This smells wildly overdramatic. They've been working on solutions big and small since it was reported, it's just that the big solutions take time, this was communicated to Drew.
