Well, but for cmake we have somebody who watches the code in the next
months. For teamwork this is not the case as David said he won't be
able to work on teamwork once SoC started.

And this code is not really among the simple ones, its using advanced
template stuff heavily. You may be familiar with that, but I know that
most of our developers are not. Or at least thats the impression I got
when I showed them the patch for removing the necessity of 2 macros for
using our extension interfaces that David has come up with.
