I am not in the loop on the autotools vs meson stuff. How much longer do
we anticipate keeping autotools around? Seems like it could be a good
opportunity to reduce some CI usage if autotools were finally dropped,
but I know there are still outstanding tasks to complete.

Back of the napkin math says autotools is about 12% of the credit cost,
though I haven't looked to see if linux-meson and linux-autotools are
1:1.
