It's been discussed frequently over the past 18 months. Most things work better (or exclusively) with CMake. A few (important) things only work, or work better, with autoconf. Getting CMake up to the standard where it supports a superset of what autoconf supports is required for dropping autoconf, and no one has volunteered to do it (which is understandable: none of the people who use CMake have the use cases where autoconf is better - if they did, then they'd be using autoconf).
