Jason,

I think the way forward is to update RFC 21 to handle your proposed
transitional approach, and then call for a vote on it.

At this point I'm moderately supportive of the approach, and will commit
to doing at least some testing of the new build mechanism once it is in
place.

I would like to see the RFC include an action item for someone to write
up a brief introduction to using and updating cmake in the context of
FDO.

Best regards,
