Only if the tools we use never change. 10 years ago make was widely used. Nowadays with meson, I go weeks without a single make invocation. Python/rust/etc. don't normally require make either. The nice thing about this proposal is that it tries to do the right thing and preemptively fix all packages. If everything goes well, the change will be mostly invisible. Nice and incremental, that's the way to do things in a distro without making people unhappy. > Because in around 10-20 more Fedora releases someone is going to say > 'this is a pile of rubble' and start on a new block. This change is something that actually helps avoid that: evolve with the times, instead of trying to cling to an outdated tool, until in 5–10 years we think that so much cruft has accumulated that it's better to start over.
