I'd personally be more interested in the more manageable exercise of auto-generating of os.cf data and using that within the existing build system. Solving this should be a subset of auto-tooling the whole thing anyway. As for upstream acceptance of a full auto-tooled solution, you can't expect anything like a "yes" without providing detail on what would be done, and an assessment of its impact. Final upstream acceptance would of course depend on the implementation meeting agreed on requirements.
