Basically because "everybody" does it, i.e. each frontent has its own such driver AFAIK. But that's not a coercing point, of course. And, as I said, we could still offer the (current) gpc driver (without automake) under another (and even longer, AFAIC ;-) name.
So IMHO we need few months (or a year) for `gp' to stablise _before_ we can depreciate automake. And I think that we should have a year of depreciation before removal.
Wait a minute -- are we really talking about removing the "automake" option from the GPC command line?
Yes -- for years.
Up to now, I'm heavily using it in the "autoconfed" and "automade" Makefiles for my GPC projects. :-} I wouldn't exactly be glad if it was gone.
Use GP (or whatever it will finally be called) then.
