After the topic graduates to a stable release (or two), it would be a good addition to encourage people to clean things up, of course, but doing so too early by warning when they are both set is not a good idea, I would think. It would bring us back to "the user has to futz with config.mak every time switching between 'maint' and 'next'". > I'll combine all these into a single patch series.
