Based on my experience here, I completely doubt it.  Normally this is a
friendly list, and I find the small but dedicated band of CMake developers
helpful to me and many others.  There are a number of disagreements here
(what healthy open-source software does not have a variety of opinions about
it?), but they are usually solved amicably.

I wonder if your list has run into one over-the-top CMake user rather than an
actual CMake developer?
