Hi Patrick, Glad to see us slowly getting rid of the global, `the_repository`! I had missed your original series[1] introducing the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_AVAILABLE macro, but going thru it provided all the context necessary for this series. I see there have been a few cleanups since the first version, and I didn't spot any typos on my end. Overall, this is a good step towards reducing our dependency on `the_repository` by removing it from the config subsystem. Additionally, this makes libifying that subsystem much easier since removing globals usage is a prerequisite for libification. I only left a non-blocking comment on one of the patches, but besides that this series LGTM. Feel free to cc me on any related series in the future!
