Hi everyone,

On -users, we had a discussion with Dylan D’Silva about frozen lists.

Problem is: currently, there’s no way to have lists that are trully 
ignored.

Frozen lists may look like the answers but items in frozen lists are 
still cached if no cache is present. More: children of items in frozen 
lists are downloaded.

The rationale was to ensure that you have all the content to work 
offline with items in your frozen list, even if those items are now long 
gone.

I’m not sure anymore about the importance of that usecase. It may be 
more intuitive to modify the behaviour of frozen lists. This will also 
improve sync performance for people with large frozen lists.

But I’m reluctant to modify an existing behaviour and I need feedbacks 
about it.

Is any of you using frozen lists?

Thanks
