I'm afraid the letter spread some misinformation: The meson RFC has in fact not been approved: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/132

For a discussion on this, see https://github.com/KFearsoff/nix-drama-explained/issues/1

Doesn't that get the timeline backwards? I thought the RFC was opened in response to inaction on the part of switching to Meson, which had been informally agreed-on.

I'm going to quote https://save-nix-together.org/:

> Single-handedly blocking Meson, which has a passed RFC, for five years because he doesn’t know meson but knows his own build system

I don't know about exact timelines, but the letter is definitely wrong about this part.
