I did a lot of testing and some grunt-level coding on CML2, and I think it addressed a lot of problems that existed, and was getting steadily better. Sure, it had some flaky spots, but I really don't see all of the problems that people had with it. Even autoconfig had this tendency to do the Right Thing. I think it was just about ready to start getting some wide testing and use, when everyone abandoned it... And now nobody wants to use it, because of course patches don't play nice with it, and etc... Pretty sad.
