I sent a message a few days ago to this very mailing list

to this idea.
CDE has been around for a long time and supports a lot of platforms despite
it being a tangled mess, I suspect they don't want to break legacy since it
would drive off as many people as it will bring in, at least initially.
Well, I guess it would help to define legacy. I could care less about
K&R C compilers and machines that were obsoleted in the 90's. I would
like CDE to build and run on as many modern systems as possible.
As far as I know, it mostly does.
