given that these don't have default values, does it necessarily make sense for them to be kw-only args? (Not necessarily asking for a change, just musing)

I'm leaning to keeping it. Keyword-only matches the sole usage already and seems decent to not mix-up the arguments because there isn't a straightforward order from the function name.

If there are ways of grouping some of these flags together into coherent bits of functionality, I think that would be better.

#11396 (review)

Around that idea, there is a nicety around grouping up the behavior under the backfilled label.

Somewhere at the multiple top-levels when we refactor this further, we're going to have to make sure the backfilled logic is consistent.

Wdyt about having a static lookup map:

class BackfilledAttributes:
    use_negative_stream_ordering = False
    inhibit_local_membership_updates = False
    other_more_condition = True
    extraneous_more_condition = False
    different_more_condition = True

And it can be used like this. I don't know. I'm not convinced of this usage and haven't figured a good clean way for the else ... spot (whether normal events have their own NormalAttributes or just be to negate the backfill one) but it seems close. Something in this vein.

await self.persist_events_store._persist_events_and_state_updates(
    chunk,
    current_state_for_room=current_state_for_room,
    state_delta_for_room=state_delta_for_room,
    new_forward_extremeties=new_forward_extremeties,
    use_negative_stream_ordering=BackfilledAttributes.use_negative_stream_ordering if backfilled else ...,
    inhibit_local_membership_updates=BackfilledAttributes.inhibit_local_membership_updates if backfilled else ...,
    other_more_condition=BackfilledAttributes.other_more_condition if backfilled else ...,
    extraneous_more_condition=BackfilledAttributes.extraneous_more_condition if backfilled else ...,
    different_more_condition=BackfilledAttributes.different_more_condition if backfilled else ...,
)

There's something to be said for identifying different "classes" of event (in this case, 'backfilled' and, uh, 'normal') with a list of exactly how those classes differ in behaviour. In that case you can just pass the 'class' identifier around rather than a sea of booleans.

We do something pretty similar with room versions (see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.47.0/synapse/api/room_versions.py#L50 etc) and I don't hate it.

That said, I'm yet to be convinced that such a solution isn't over-engineered in this case - if we've only really got a few degrees of freedom here, then booleans for them might be easier. Can I reserve judgement on this?

Great comparison to RoomVersion 👌

Can I reserve judgement on this?

Totally fine to push this to when we have more a need. Just wanted to throw out the inkling of an idea that the original backfilled had some benefit and how we could retain some of that in this new refactor ⏩
