Not really, My point is that there are 2 areas that better suited for
a lot of the effort that was put into EDE such as  autoconf and config
check scripts.  The remaining can go into documentation on the wiki
not about EDE but about what commands someone would need to run in
their terminal.  When the commands are presented like that, folks can
adapt according to their environment. The sheer presence of something
like EDE misleads developers into thinking if I put some code in here
that works on my system, my obligation to release management is done.

there were parts of the system that were not setup correctly and the
system had plenty of opportunity to check for me seems unfortunate.

I'm currently training a group of potential developers on suse about
how to setup their environment and we're hitting an embarrassing
amount of issues that were solved for CentOS in EDE.  I can contribute
code to autoconf and config checks myself, but I was more attempting
to get any ongoing effort pointed in a better served direction IMHO.
