>I don't understand what you mean, if it has the same interface as autotools how do you remove the legacy stuff without breaking anything?

By having autotools for the projects that need "everything" (legacy BS checks) and this leaner version for the projects that don't need them.

I'm confused. Are you suggesting this leaner version should exist and it does not? Or are you advocating for a leaner version that I have not heard of?

I am suggesting a leaner version should exist.

The same way there's vim and neovim without the legacy stuff.
