I looked at it and quickly discarded it. From what I could see there's not
been meaningful moves to it in the last couple years, if anything adoption has
been dropping. And I don't think we want to end up relying on yet another half
maintained tool.
Not having a ninja backend etc didn't strike me as great either - the builds
with scons I've done weren't fast at all.
Greetings,
