Is rehashing the same thing again worth it? Consider that a lot of people, no matter what you say will see it as GN slowly creeping in to replace CMake, not many are familiar with it outside Google or Chromium/Skia contributors.


I'd like to reiterate that this patch does not change anything about LLVM's build system situation. CMake is the supported build system. GN is 100% unsupported (as I've added as a comment to the file as I moved it over). I do not intend to push for changing this.
