   Re: Polaris, good to know. Sounds like an example that this PR could be 
valuable in standardizing approach of handling snapshotLog.
   
   Re: Other REST catalog implementations, thank you for the explanation that 
makes sense. For arbitrary REST catalog implementations, there is no guarantee 
on the performance of using `REFS` mode. A catalog could choose to send the 
whole snapshotLog or choose to only send referenced snapshots from the log. 
Hopefully over time more REST catalog implementations opt-in to the performance 
benefit (it's a one-line change of `suppressHistoricalSnapshots()`, but it does 
require implementations to explicitly make a change.
