You are free to volunteer to do that, I am not going to do it for samba4, I simply do not have the time to waste on such a thing. (Samba4 people are in strict contact with the waf author and use regularly the svn version du jour to fix build bugs they found, good luck trying to make samba4 build right with months old releases that do not include all necessary fixes). > And "all these projects", come on, even with Samba4 and its libs, > there are less than 10 packages in Fedora using waf.

Why should we waste so much time to make up policies for 10 bloody packages ? I am sure we can revisit guidelines when there will be hundreds of them. Right now it is just a waste of time. I am not going to participate, and will give up any package that include waf if the guidelines force me to waste days to accomplish useless tasks.
