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.

Again, I'm not against it, I only raised a point, it's not me you have to reassure. I'll emphasize what I said before - "//Consider that a lot of people, no matter what you say will see it as GN slowly creeping in to replace CMake//".
