Yes - I IIRC even noted early in the thread that I don't think it's realistic
to finish it in time for 15. There's just a good amount of portability hacking
left to be done, and a good chunk of cleanup. I have a new colleague working
on automating testing it on more platforms.

Getting a few of the prerequisite patches in would make it more likely to
succeed in 16 though.

Right. There's also a lot of discussion around transition paths etc that need
to be happening first. A lot of other projects that moved ran with multiple
buildsystems for ~1 release, so things could mopped up without blocking
everyone.

Already happened, but I'm a belated +1 ;)
