I'd much rather we keep our current scheme because it makes 100% sense for ARM since there is no "generic" configuration which covers a subset of configurations.
To illustrate this fact, here's some statistics on the symbolic usage between all the default configurations on ARM:
- 414 configuration symbols are only defined on one default configuration file. - 281 configuration symbols occur in between 2 and 9 inclusive files. - 122 configuration symbols occur between 10 and 46 files. - 3 configuration symbols occur in all 47 default configuration files.
I'm far from happy doing any conversions to make this work. The current system was fine and fit our needs exactly.
