I think it depends in what fashion. We've been talking about supporting building out-of-tree modules with "pgxs" for at least a 5 year support window. But the replacement isn't yet finished [1], so that clock hasn't yet started ticking. > Seems like it could be a good opportunity to reduce some CI usage if > autotools were finally dropped, but I know there are still outstanding tasks > to complete. > > Back of the napkin math says autotools is about 12% of the credit cost, > though I haven't looked to see if linux-meson and linux-autotools are 1:1. The autoconf task is actually doing quite useful stuff right now, leaving the use of configure aside, as it builds with address sanitizer. Without that it'd be a lot faster. But we'd loose, imo quite important, coverage. The tests would run a bit faster with meson, but it'd be overall a difference on the margins.
