This is not a feature. It's a misfeature. It's EXACTLY the reason our seniormost engineers spent three days trying to upgrade TensorFlow in Clear Linux. That's not your junior guy who only knows how to run "npn install". We're talking about people who had been building stuff on Linux years before you'd ever heard about Linux. Anyway, you'll see in my original email that I did not name any buildsytem. I only set forth a set of requirements that any buildsystem worth its salt should be able to meet. We're more than two years away from switching to a new buildsystem, so even if a new one sprung up tomorrow, it would have enough time to meet the (2.b) requirement of one package packaged continuously for 2 years. So maybe bazel has a shot. Or ninja. Or scons.
