Thank you for feedback and request for improving the documentation. As I understand, the primary goals of the new build system were: - reliable incremental builds - module definitions less error-prone - build output more predictable across devices
Obviously these goals may result in an initial learning curve for porting, but hopefully we can improve the documentation to overcome that hurdle.
