Description eeL 2019-05-15 10:02:48 UTC

Hi there,


By removing vanilla useflag, all patch related useflags were also removed (I guess that was the intent).

I understand that we can user-patch those ourselves, but having to do it on every system seems a bit cumbersome. Is there any plan to revert patch flags (alt-font-width, buffer-on-clear, focused-urgency, secondary-wheel and wcwidth)?

Obviously, this is more a philosophical matter than a technical one; any hints on proper way to handle similar cases would be highly appreciated.


Best regards,
