BTW, this point is intended to mean that CMake script must always be
supported, even under the most wildly optimistic migration strategy.
One can debate how many CMake script users will have to be supported
FIY, no, not really, one does not have to debate about it IMHO. At
this very moment, I can tell you this number is right about 100% of
the users who have been writing CMake script at one time or another
(sometimes, a *lot* of CMake script) and rely on it. You can not, for
the sake of a rhetorical argument, discard them, call them "small" or
insinuate they are worth being supported or not. I'd say they are,
and this is an important point.
Still, all of this suggests a Virtual Machine approach to CMake.
Or an operating system in CMake.
Or a space shuttle.
