Well, I am not convinced that we should change the name. It is there
since some many years. :-)
However, we could improve the manual. For instance, it reads [1] «A
notable exception is the “bare-bones” trivial-build-system (see Build
Systems).»
Then under “Build System“ section [2], this “bare-bones” could be more
explicit. For example, extend a bit its documentation [3].
Well, it will mitigate a bit the common “trap” about the most
non trivial build system. :-)
