I've received word that after the next set of rolling restarts, which may be happening as early as tonight, inspection requests on other players will start to be throttled.
This is being done because some addons generate a large number of inspection requests, so beware as some addons may start to behave unexpectedly, flat out break, or otherwise act up. Overall I hope it not to be too bad, but you never know, so here's the heads up.
Addon authors may need to restructure their addon so that they may _never_ receive a response back from a request. We may be seeing several second long intervals between allowed requests, and as I said, some request will likely never be answered.
If I hear any more details I'll update the post.

But I do hope we can say "Buh-bye Gear Score, you won't be missed!"
Also all those requests actually can slow down OTHER players game play, causing THEM lag from something they aren't even doing. So someone without any mods at all is getting lag from YOU (and yes, it's been proven it does by network monitoring tools). That's why they are going to cut it back.
