Ok, I've had a discussion with the rest of my team and we are convinced that real Free Software projects cannot live without Makefiles. So in order to give people choice I'm volunteering to restore the old system used in IcedTea version 6 as a fork of the current ant based build tool. While there, we noticed that Mercurial is really leading to a very high flow of patches, too difficult to work with and follow, so we decide to move to RCS. We think this is the only reasonable thing to do in a fast paced project and the increased workflow will create less and more focused commits, leading to a higher quality of them!
