Yeah, why not, let's start it slow. What I like with that step is we can easily roll new tarballs with "make distcheck" if packagers have any issues. Btw, when is 2.58.0 due? And how many dev release do we plan in between? > 3) Starting from 2.59.0 (the actual start of next dev cycle), drop > autotools completely; assuming that steps 1 and 2 have gone OK.

The dependency in our top-level > meson.build is currently 0.46.0. Because 0.46.1 is what we have in our CIs, the .1 is only for bug fixing.
