I didn’t hear many positive opinions when I forced everyone to switch over to
the new ntdll loader. I minusone this proposal too. CMake should get wider
usage first, and get the regressions sorted out. After all, it’s a build system
change, not a migration to BSD kernel, it’s a doable task.
I’m all to help with hunting down CMake problems btw.

Aleksey Bragin.
