As someone who has also been annoyed having to support in-tree and out-of-tree, I support that move. I used to be a pretty happy use of in-tree builds, but out-of-tree his generally equally convenient. Who is volunteering to do patches to deprecate the support? warning in 4.0, and error in 4.1? thanks
