Sorry for the duplicate - my previous response didn't go to Duncan or Mehdi for some reason. Trying again...

You could have a sharded mode for full FDO (like gcc's partitioned LTO). And we aren't really making any explicit sharding decisions, since the backends do importing on demand.

As David mentioned, "inlineonly" is much too restrictive for what is possible. I prefer to stick with "thin" since it refers to this new model of keeping the whole program part very thin.

Does anyone have an opinion on "full" vs "monolithic" vs something else for the traditional full/monolithic LTO?
