It's not a great argument? If Github and Gitlab are fine with the polling, and the polling has even marginal benefits for Go users, why should we care how they handle Github and Gitlab? It sure looks like nobody on the Go project knew that sr.ht would care about these module clones, and when they found out, they gave DeVault the option of stopping them. I'm still not clear what the issue is.

If they knew DeVault's host wasn't going to be able to handle repeated module clones, a priori, then doing it anyways would be a problem. It doesn't look like anyone expected this to be a problem. It turned out it was, and there's a fix.
