I very much *don't* want to cause a split in the community!!! We're only having a *discussion* and comparing/contrasting. We're not moving ahead and making any huge changes yet. I think it is a good thing for everyone to say their thoughts and explain pros/cons. If we try it in practice, we will definitely find out if it makes life better, or worse. Unfortunately that would require doing all the work (some is already done in PRs 3704 and 6718 but will need attention) and maintaining two parallel build systems for a while. Will people want to volunteer to do that if all the work might be thrown away? Maybe, maybe not. I suppose it depends on how strongly people feel about CMake. So I think, first, we should make a nice coherent list of pros/cons. I'm okay with tracking pros/cons in a GitHub issue instead of CWIKI. Cheers, Nathan
