Why do the docs discourage the use of flatMapMerge{} ? Android SQLite has a limit of 999 params per query, so I window my params by 999, call asFlow, then flatMapMerge{ids->db.flowOfEntities(ids)}. Is that wrong?

I’d say it’s because most of the time there are simpler operators that can be used to achieve the desired behavior, and flatMapMerge has very specific use cases.

I guess for your use case it makes sense, although it is a pretty specific use case (a single flow that will emit various items)
