Hi Emil, could you explain your motivation behind keeping the autotools build around? It seems like the points you made earlier are mooted by now. Do you intend to remove autotools build from all CI, so that you alone will be the lone user of it, meaning that no other developer should care about its existence at all? Wanting to keep it in-tree does not sound like it, but I wanted to confirm what your expectations are from other developers. Thanks, pq
