Is that necessary? What's the use case? fwiw, I'd like to get rid of State
objects entirely. I've a long-term goal of being able to mark a Series as open
or closed and make Series more of a first class citizen ('git-pw series list' is
effectively useless right now), but doing so requires Patches to also have a
boolean open/closed state (assuming we don't want the series and patch states to
be totally disconnected and for users to be forced to manually manage series
states, that is). I've been envisioning two solutions:
* Transform the 'Patch.state' field to a combination of a boolean
'Patch.resolved' field and a 'Patch.resolution' field, with the latter being
set only if 'Patch.resolved' == 'True'
* Transform the 'Patch.state' field to a boolean and add support for patch
tags, with the current States all becoming tags
I've mostly focused on the latter approach since it seems more useful in the
long term. The only reason I haven't finished this work is because each time I
try, I get stuck writing a migration and shims for the XML-RPC and REST APIs
that don't suck. I also don't know how to integrate them nicely with the "tags"
people include in patch subject lines (i.e. '[RFC]' or '[stable-2.7]').
All this is to say that I think what you've proposed right now would for this
new boolean-only future but making this a tertiary thing would not, so ideally
I'd like to avoid adding this.

Yup, flake8 will be more than happy so long as you dedent the closing bracket

Let me know if you want to discuss the State thing in more detail. I have about
four different attempts sitting locally, all in various states of
incompleteness, so I could probably push these somewhere if you needed a more
in-depth view of where my head was at.
