Constructive comments would be appropriate if I wanted to help construct a new kbuild. The truth is that I'm quite happy with the current kbuild and don't want it replaced with *anything* at all. (That's the same reason I'm glad no one's been talking about CML2 lately.) The new one wouldn't bother me if the user interface were *exactly* identical to the old one; i.e., if I could keep typing exactly the same commands to build a kernel and get exactly the same results and not be able to tell that anything had changed in the build process.
Personally, I wish that the only changes anybody made were to the kernel itself (new drivers added, existing performance improved, etc.) and that all the supporting tools and utilities just could be left alone. I know that's not going to happen, but anything that slows down changes in those extraneous things is fine with me. I'd be perfectly happy if *years* from now I was compiling Linux 45.10.12 with the same kbuild, CML, gcc and everything else that I'm using right now.

...and what would your beefs (beeves?) with kbuild-2.5 be? I searched the archives for the last 12 months and I don't see anythinng from you relevant to kbuild-2.5. Keith has been addressing concerns quite regularly; I should think if you have constructive comments, he'd surely listen.
You *do* have constructive comments, right?
