 # any downloads from subproject wrappers. We want the builds to be as
 # reproducible as possible, and we want to be adding features most of the

+# Unfortunately, there are lots of people who lack the ability to read the
+# documentation of meson (which is really simple by the way), and declare
+# features as 'combo' type instead of 'feature' type. This means that you
+# shouldn't rely entirely on the '--auto-features=disabled', because those
+# people declare their features as string lists.
