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
