No one said "full community support" or "unanimity". That would be
nice. There are Apache rules for determining technical direction that
defines "community support":
https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html under "Code
Modifications". This prohibits any small group from commandeering the
technical direction of the project. Apache prohibits that and requires
that any change must be at least acceptable to all voting members. That
is the Apache way.

I think we will never have "full community support" because it means
something like "unanimity" and as a guy called Nelson Rodrigues once said:
"All unanimity is dumb".
Although (fortunately) we don't have full community support, it seems we
have a direction: only application support for now.

Let's make sure that we have full concurrence from the community. Our
responsibility is to serve the whole community and not just the special
interests of a few. That is what it means to be an Apache project.
The CMake effort did not have full community support. Let's make sure
that we do this time.
