I tried adding the automatic Refresh but it seemed way too heavyweight for
the many cases that didn't need it. We'll have to stick to the workaround
for the moment, and I'll hope to come up with some way for scripts to
trigger a refresh on purpose if we don't get real node-monitoring stuff in
place soon enough.
