Why not using paging by scrolling

[sandy081]

Testing #93820

I see paging is implemented using a special action/label Load More.... Why did not we consider implementing paging by scrolling just like how extensions viewlet is done?

Is this because of the current paging API design? If so the proposal here - #94178 will support paging by scrolling.

It was discussed, but we chose this simpler path to ship and when @isidorn suggested the extension viewlet paging, it seemed to have 2 requirements I couldn't meet -- 1) Only supports list items and we are thinking about possibly allowing tree items and 2) it needs to know the count of all the elements up front.

Although because of a recent major refactor to how the timeline is rendered #2 might not be an issues, but #1 would still be going forward.
