I guess that would have been fine if we didn't have alternatives (ie: callbacks). He is already running a web server, so he could listen through that for updates.

If he breaks the server, then a callback/webhook notification for the fix won't work either.

If you want to use a callback for this I'd recommend still polling periodically anyway.

Problem with self-hosting though, if his server breaks, so does the callbacks.
