Hi there,

I saw that CMake was apparently switching from CMake server mode (
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.14/manual/cmake-server.7.html) to file api (
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.14/manual/cmake-file-api.7.html).

I first saw it in CMake 3.14 rc and final announce:
https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2019-March/069155.html

However I didn't see much discussion about that on either developer or user
ML beside recent statement from Brad
https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake-developers/2019-March/031129.html
telling that server mode will certainly be deprecated in favor of file api.

Can any CMake developer that has been participating in this new file api
shed some light on the rational of this foreseen switch?
I'm just curious about it. What was wrong/problematic with server mode?
Does the new file api solves some IDE integration issue?
