Forgive noob question, but coming from Rx background this tends to be a big issue…
If I assign a SharedFlow or StateFlow initialized from a cold Flow (with stateIn(...Eagerly...)) to a var, but then later assign null to the `var`; once there are no subscribers left to the SharedFlow (and no references left to it) will it cancel the original cold Flow (and otherwise free its resources)?

No, if you need Rx's refCount equivalent, use SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed() . Otherwise original cold flow will be cancelled once scope (passed to stateIn/shareIn) gets cancelled
