Or No Deal.  2 years is a number you've inappropriately reused from an
unrelated context.

You are right, I apologize. Bill said:
        "we might have two official languages someday"
then a guy, let's just name him B.V.E, took "someday", a magic eight ball, and probably a raccoon to extrapolate right away: "I think if the automated translation tool had proven itself for a couple of years, it would be perfectly reasonable to force people to move on (to LUA). So there is still that 2 year window [...]"

Now it is true, I went a little too far by translating "a couple of years" to "2 years". It obviously meant, "a couple", as, you know, a "loving relationship of years". That was inappropriate, and probably illegal in many American states.

I'm willing to give Bill some time to think about the "undoability" of CMake --> Lua translation

Great. And by "some time" you mean "someday", therefore "2 years", right. The time the automated translation had proven to work. Now you just need to prove it. OK, sorry, prove it *again*. I don't want to waste your time anymore, time that could be spent proving away.

Cheers
