Your goal to avoid unnecessary object transfer can be actually built on
top of manual recovery mechanism. If we implement manual recovery, we
can add a timeout option to it(very easy), thus if someone want to
always delay recovery, he can simply disable automatic recovery, add
specify a timeout for it. In this way, we can have several policy to
accommodate different purposes.
