Subject: Re: is it desirable to improve the build system?

>The answer to "is it desirable to improve X?" is always "yes."  But

the only way to make progress in Linux is to actually post patches
that "improve X."  This is unlike many corporate environments, where
you might need to get somebody's approval

Precisely. Please excuse me coming from a corporate background. 
In corporate, even if you "get somebody's approval", there may be "other stakeholders" who may "feel ownership" etc etc

Thank you

Mark
