Seems reasonable enough, pushed to git master:

To ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/util/cf
    a7cbc7b..9d00e1f  master -> master

However, in two weeks we'll hit the 10th anniversary of X.Org moving
off imake and giving up on active maintenance of it.  Any program still
using imake a decade later is not positioned to support new platforms very
well or be easily maintained, and would be advised to move off imake.
