I think we were not on the same page. I didn't say SharedFlow can be hot or cold based on replay settings, actually, your response agrees with what I've said. I didn't say SharedFlow will be convenient for `SingleLiveEvent`, all I wanted to do is to clarify the phrase:

"Unfortunately, no. SharedFlow is hot. This means that during periods where the is no observer, say during a configuration change, events emitted on to the flow are simply dropped. Regrettably, this also makes SharedFlow inappropriate to emit events on."

with the situations that this can happen, but I totally agree with the rest of your article.

In other words, I wanted to say the same as what Roman Elizarov said hare: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/2034#issuecomment-631939447

which in turn similar to what you've said in your response
