Hi, Andrew.

I'd be curious to know what the issues were and why you don't think it's
up to the job.

I'm also hoping you're careful about how much weight you give the survey
results.  When I pointed out some of the weaknesses in the survey, you
agreed and noted the results wouldn't be treated too seriously.  But now
you seem to be using the survey results as a reason for not switching to
CMake.

Thanks,

Lewis
