I don't think flushing is necessary. The exclude filter will make sure that
the configured repo1 is never contacted for org/springframework requests. If
you reenable it afterwards it has to go and search the artifacts again,
suboptimal.

Also imagine company internal artifacts that have been published there, if
someone makes a typo on an exclude filter all your artifacts might get
zapped !
