I understand your point of view, but meson doesn't have dependencies
beside Python 3.10+ (pure python) and Ninja.
So we would switch from make + autotools to python + ninja. Still,
2 tools. The only difference is that make + autotools is messy and
legacy, while Meson is modern and well crafted.
The project I worked on is easily adaptable in the current LTP version:
