Making implicit deps explicit is only one part of the patchset.
Moving all that header code around between files will conflict with all other code merges that touch those same lines.
- taeric 5y agoFair. I'm assuming the patches to update includes covers a wider set than changing the headers themselves. Though, really, I was just saying why it may not be as bad as it sounds. Can still be bad, of course.

This makes me hopeful that an optimal 'fast' state of header dependencies can be maintained going forward - once the initial set of fixes are in of course.
