 Replying to [comment:13 DrewAPicture]:
 > Help me understand the downside(s) of simply turning it on for all
 widgets by default? I guess I don't see why we'd want to implement
 selective refresh for some things and not other things.

 > It's like introducing a new feature and turning it off by default –
 which usually begs the question of why we're adding it in the first place.
