It seems to me that this proposal would fill a niche between current

So, to summarize the main points so far:

just one or two GNU packages, and see how many users complain, and
how loudly. My follow-up on this: we could do this experiment by
being even more conservative, and have one or
I agree the reason becomes less compelling as more capable systems
become more commonplace, but I do not agree ancient RISC boxes are no
longer an interesting target for current NTP builds.
The machine I use (and many of us, too) has a MIPS-like chip, the

Rather, one GNU package could drop support for ordinary Make, and see
how users react. If the level of complaint is not too high, then
GCC dropped support for non-GNU make in version 3.4 (April 2004).
We could see how users reacted to that.
