Same thing as for any change with an impact this wide --

1. Identify stakeholders. In this case, probably the sub-project
maintainers, major contributors, and a smattering of distro
maintainers.
2. Make them happy, or at least get them, as a group, to agree that
it's "good enough".
3. Apply.

This is the point at which you can make autotools less visible. We're
not at that point yet.
