Feature request: refetchOnUnmount?
For any team members here, has adding refetchOnUnmount been discussed at any point? Think we'll see this in Query's future?

I'm gonna be a bit presumptuous and say that sounds strange. unmounted queries become inactive if there's no other observers and will be garbage collected out. This seems to run counter to the design of it. Why would you want query to do this?

I have a SuggestedUsers component that I don't want fetching on mount or during its life cycle. Rather, I want the query fetched on unmount, so that the next time this component mounts its data is fresh.

That sounds like you want to prefetch the query? https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/prefetching
