I'm sorry to read that... now that I raised the topic again.

That sound perfectly fine to me. In fact, the fact that the CMake team is
doing a great job at not breaking existing build systems when shipping new
versions is one of the reasons why I use CMake.

Was a consensus reached, back then?
I would very much like to see such an addition to CMake.
As proposed in my previous email, an additional "FIRST" value to the
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_{PROGRAM,INCLUDE,LIBRARY} {ONLY,NEVER,BOTH} set
would perfectly fit the bill, in my case.
Would that be hard to do?
Would it be considered as a welcome addition?
Best,
Nicolas
