Hi,

sounds good to me.

I will propose removing the autotools build right after the
release has been completed and the next development cycle begins.

I would be happy to see the fbdev backend go. It's dead tech, and
anything new relying on it is a false start.

However, to be fair, it hasn't been that much of a burden yet, to
me anyway. There have even been an occasional patch or two proposed
from the community.
