This change suffers from:

1) No justification: There has been no well defined explanation as to
why it was necessary to change the core build tool. (i.e. no one other
than Martin answered Andrea's repeated questions, and Martin said he
could downgrade).

2) No warning: while there has been discussion, there was no plan, no
vote, not much of any decision, and no room to help other developers
adapt to the change. (i.e. the announcement sounds an awful lot like
"oh, btw. you need to have changed yesterday to keep working"). 

A stable development system would include both of the above.
