Good question. In part, I was looking at this ds/feature-macros
series because my cleanup-merge-api series[1] has some minor conflicts
with it. I'm a little unsure what route I should take with my series
now. Some choices:
* keep this logic in your series in a separate patch, and have me
rebase my series on yours.
* drop this logic from your series since it may not be needed
anymore, making our two series independent again.
* move this logic into a separate patch of yours but making that
patch part of my series instead; that'd be easy with the enum logic,
but the repo-settings.c stuff appears to depend on your other
patches...
Thoughts or preferences?
