Just to make sure we settle this ;-)
The way I see it, the expanded version would be:
... the impact of a specific option, the impact of a set of options, or the
impact of a new buildroot version.
which I would shorten to either of:
... the impact of a specific option, a set of options, or a new buildroot
version.
... the impact of a specific option or set of options, or of a new buildroot
version.
and perhaps other variants, but I feel that _if_ you repeat 'of' in the 'of a
set of options' part, then you must also repeat it in the 'new buildroot
version' part.
Anyway, who reads these readme's anyway? ;-)
