Any combination of y and m will do the trick Then we have this statement: depends on FB=y || DRM=m It tells us that either FB equals y or DRM equals m. So we have following table FB DRM Result n n n n y n n m n y n n y y y y m y m n n m y N m m y So what this try to say is that we cannot have FB a module while DRM is built-in (marked N in the above). Could you explain in the changelog why this combination is not good. (Or tell me if my analysis was flawed).
