It is about replacing Perl with CMake. Perl has a much better availability than

Please don't apply our possiblites to others and don't make any assumptions 
what others can or cannot do. Rasing to 17 w/o massively rewriting core to 
benefit from post-8 constructs a pure lie to ourselves. We cannot even keep 
JIRA issue count low. I'd really focus on what really matters.
