That's fine, but there is value in doing the migration separately to the 
1.16->1.18 upgrade: there should be no difference to the installed files 
which makes verification easier.

Basically I've no opinion on when the meson migration is merged, as you 
say it's not trivial, but please have it as a separate commit to an upgrade.

Thanks,
