Commit Message

Paul Barker March 31, 2026, 7:29 p.m. UTC
Add default values to MACHINE_FEATURES using the new
filter_default_features() function.

This change obsoletes the variables MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL and
MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED. Instead, all defaults are added
via MACHINE_FEATURES_DEFAULTS and users can opt out of any of these
using MACHINE_FEATURES_OPTED_OUT. Hopefully the variable naming here is
easier for people to understand and remember.

Migration notes:

- MACHINE_FEATURES will now get the default features added
  automatically. You will need to review these and add any features you
  do not want to use to MACHINE_FEATURES_OPTED_OUT.

- If you previously set MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED, use the new
  variable MACHINE_FEATURES_OPTED_OUT instead.

- If you previously modified MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL, don't do that.
