But then you'll have the same issue with 4.10.x :)

A script that takes the split repos and combines them into a single tarball 
and a main CMakeLists.txt file that builds the resulting tar ball.

As long as this is in place before 4.9.5 we'll manage.

So given this I vote for doing the migration and we'll patch 4.9.5 to fake a 
single tarball.
