If you go back in history (for years), you will find in the archives
that we have tried different policies. None of them is perfect, so
unless we see serious problems, I propose to keep the things as they are.

Don't know what other people do, but I'll take (a). Since I have written
remote file notifications myself, likely I'm the one who has the least
trust for (b) :-) (c) could help, yes.
