Hello all,
I have notice many meta-python3 recipes are having their .inc files
being consolidated. I am considering backporting those consolidations
that are bug fix only so that maintenance moving forward is easier.
Any concerns from the community on taking that route where appropriate?
regards,
Armin

Those consolidations can never be "bug fix only" - part of a recipe in
an .inc file is not a bug.

I wouldn't see it appropriate for a stable branch in most cases.
If you are backporting other changes for a recipe that were done in
master on top of such a change this approach sounds like an option, but
in the normal case that the recipe is never touched for other reasons in
a stable branch I do not see the benefits of making such unnecessary changes.

I reckon that this would make it easy to maintain then in the future,
so the question is do
we do this now or do we wait until a bug fix is required on dunfell,
at that time the
the effort would be to do both. If its moving code around without
other changes then it's a trivial fix
I would leave it up to maintainer's discretion if it makes their work
easier, it's perhaps fine to
cherry-pick the easy ones.
