Well, isn't it what is happening with SUBDIRS vs. ADD_SUBDIRECTORY? How
this problem is being handled now?

And releasing a version with a buggy behavior is a serious issue. I'm
not talking about bugs like when one feature is documented to do
something bug does something else. This should be corrected without
concerns about backwards compatibility. But a feature conceptually wrong
shouldn't be allowed to go unnoticed.
