Subject: [PATCH 08/10] test: limit internal API usage
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:30:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717093006.229370-9-david.marchand@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717093006.229370-1-david.marchand@redhat.com>
Internal APIs may be used for validating the internals of some
component, but in general, it should be discouraged.
Let's not allow globally internal API in the unit tests.
