instinctively - congrats, you've aborted the installation. Or stopped it in
an interesting place, I've got some sort of "transfer interrupted" message
once this way.

Yes, I've been meaning to mention that for a while now.

Now that the async features have been out for a few months, I can say I
like the async refreshing but I'm not a fan of how async installation
turned out (for the exact reasons you mention above). I see 3 options, and
I'd like to know what people think.

1. Keep the feature but disable by default. Async refreshing would still be
enabled.
2. Implement it using a background emacs process. This has been mentioned
here before, it would not cause emacs to hang during the unpacking stage,
and would not be interrupted by C-g.
3. Just revert it. This has the advantage of simplifying the logic. Async
refreshing would still be kept.
