i did not do a full migration as i got bored, but i did do enough to show |
| 12 |
it in action. the current method does not require all be converted at the |
| 13 |
same time though, so it can be left up to maintainers of relevant packages |
| 14 |
to do the change over themselves. |

the patchset allows for some targets (notably Linux systems) to control |
| 27 |
whether the flag is enabled. it is turned off by default and i think |
| 28 |
that's the behavior we want. i have not forced enabled it for any target |
| 29 |
but maybe the prefix/darwin guys will want to do that. |
