Hello Nils,

I briefly read Tollef's softban patch. Softban (including softpurge)
only set ttl to 0, but does not trigger a fetch immediately. The user
will get the graced object and then varnish will fetch a new object.

"hash_always_expire" is treat all objects as expired and trigger a
bgfetch at the same time. This is like a object refresh, but an improved
version of "hash_always_miss". So the next user will receive the new
content if bgfetch finishes.

Thanks,
Jingyi
