I looked at it and quickly discarded it. From what I could see there's not been meaningful moves to it in the last couple years, if anything adoption has been dropping. And I don't think we want to end up relying on yet another half maintained tool. Not having a ninja backend etc didn't strike me as great either - the builds with scons I've done weren't fast at all.
