While everyone else is discussing big ideas, it would be helpful for me personally if autoconf just made a release with the latest bugfixes. I report these compatibility issues upstream, and it's awkward to have to tell the maintainers that they must cherry-pick a git commit, rebuild autoconf, and then autoreconf their project before they can even even think about exporting CFLAGS="-Werror=..." to build-test their project.
