If they don't want to use the mechanism that's there choice, but I think the
benefit in the end will encourage projects to conform. This is not really
the interesting part of developing and I think people would like to use a
system that is know to work and get on with developing the application. I
think a universal build system and things like gump are absolutely essential
and need to be worked on and the logistics are very interesting, but I would
rather be doing something else :-)
