FIY, no, not really, one does not have to debate about it IMHO. At 
this very moment, I can tell you this number is right about 100% of 
the users who have been writing CMake script at one time or another 
(sometimes, a *lot* of CMake script) and rely on it. You can not, for 
the sake of a rhetorical argument, discard them, call them "small" or 
insinuate they are worth being supported or not. I'd say they are, 
and this is an important point.

Or an operating system in CMake.
Or a space shuttle.
