What matters is if the autotester imports X's large project, then it must 
somehow import whatever X's build system is, for better or worse.

And I guarantee it will break constantly.

Analogously, you and I know how to write code correctly (as does everyone else). 
But I guarantee that you and I are mistaken about that, and we don't write 
perfect code, and it breaks.

Just like the build systems.
