No. According to the Go project, adding his site to the exclusion list would reduce traffic to his site at the cost of freshness of the data the proxy collects; it would not make it "impossible" for people to use packages from sr.ht.

This is all in the thread that DeVault linked to from his post.

Which would still be far from great for any kind of source hosting website.

In what way would it be "far from great"?

Well, why have that proxy/functionality in first place if the best option is to disable it?

[tptacek]

I don't even understand the question you're asking. Nobody is suggesting the proxy be disabled, including for sr.ht.

It's OK not to know the specifics of what this is about, but it's weird to have strong opinions about it if you don't.
