Also I understand Meson already got into v1.2? I thought the next version is based on the previous?
Yes, but I hope that doesn't mean we can't revert problems :)
I don't think adding a smiley face makes it any less insulting to the people that added, and *continue to maintain* the meson feature.
The `meson.build` made it into v1.2, that is right but turned out to cause more trouble than was expected. OS package maintainers quickly adopted it without any second thought.
Have you pondered why that might be? OS package maintainers usually don't change the way they build packages without a good reason.
And then all their packages had issues because the `meson.build` did some things wrong (no version in- formation in the binary for instance, no man page in the package, CLI options not working).
Are there any issues outstanding? All this talk of "removing things" does not give me the warm-and-fuzzies for building things on top of the flashrom project.
