I don't understand why this issue is generating such heat on the list.
What's the issue?  Repositories could have any policy they want on
this.  You can already do any of what you want with the existing
protocol, because the protocol has an "out" for bulk operations where
you don't want to fill up the poll queue:

   Message queues can consume server resources if clients do not
   retrieve and acknowledge messages on a regular basis.  Servers MAY
   implement other mechanisms to dequeue and deliver messages if queue
   maintenance needs exceed server resource consumption limits.  Server
   operators SHOULD consider time-sensitivity and resource management
   factors when selecting a delivery method for service information
   because some message types can be reasonably delivered using non-
   protocol methods that require fewer server resources.

You'd need an extension or a new contact mapping, though.
