I was thinking a little bit about this topic last night and wanted to
collect my thoughts somewhere.
I think that there are a couple of things that I'm not 100% clear or
sold on, which are:
- What is the eventual goal of this series? Do we plan to transition
the existing make-driven builds to instead be built with Meson? Will
we have both? Something else?
- What is the eventual plan for CMake, which is maintained currently
in the contrib directory? Will it be deprecated in favor of Meson?
Will we continue to support it?
Let me expand a little on each of those in turn:
