I very much agree we need to get our act together, and pronto.

Using make is really low on our list of issues. It's always easy to 
blame the tools or politicize the matter ("W&A are set in their ways and 
use that crappy make instead of $BUILD_TOOL").

The reality is we need to raise the quality of contributions. To do so, 
we need better reviews that transform pull requests from good to great.
