I do not wish to have extra parallel build systems maintained by other people in the tree, because that has caused confusion in the past both among packagers and among people building from source.  I want to make life easy for building packages, and CMake does this: it exports the configurable options in a way that is easy to parse and package managers already have a lot of infrastructure for dealing with CMake from packaging KDE and other things that use it.

How about moving it to "unmaintained/" or "unsupported/" and leaving a README that documents them as such -- thus preventing people from confusing them for something that's actively supported? They may still be a neat way to bootstrap the system on some of the platforms while using a great runtime instead of a good runtime.

Just throwing an idea. All the work on libobjc2 is, of course, already greatly appreciated.
