Description
Changes the underlying type of
component.Kind
to be closer topipeline.Signal
. Right now the type is defined withincomponent
, but it could be moved to an internal module so that we could have a different module exposing other value on this enum.This is already doable today, the only thing this PR gives us is
I am not convinced this is necessary to do, but we may as well do it.
This is technically a breaking change since
component.Kind(42)
was a valid expression and it no longer is. I think this is extremely rare, so I suggest if we go ahead we do so in one go.Link to tracking issue
Fixes #11443
