I certainly appreciate the discussion, thanks for chiming in! I'm still
not convinced that we should continue to couple auto-maintenance and
backgrounding to each other. In my opinion, this behaviour was a mistake
in the past and continues to surprise now, too. Making it an explicit
option feels more natural to me.

That being said, when others feel strongly about this, as well, then I'm
of course happy to adapt.

FWIW, I find it is a sensible approach to have a separate "run in
the background" that is not strongly tied to "do your thing if you
think the repository really needs it".

Thanks.
