David, I understand that, but as others pointed out, we are far from such ideal situation. It seems, there hasn't been enough marketing push adoption of project config files forward, I think. > For other types of module improvements, I think becoming a CMake developer > and participating in the active development of CMake itself is a much more > useful thing than having a separate repository for stuff like this. My main motivation was to simplify inclusion of find modules in central place and make such central place the major sink for modules. > This is just my opinion, and I would love to hear what others think.

I prefer to adopt what CMake recommends myself.
