well, me and lot of other developers disagree. Hence the popularity of 
the openmoko makefile.

Are you trying to make it easier or harder to generate file systems? 
Lots of developers do not have time to learn the symantics of 
bitbake/monotone, etc.

Anything that can make it easier to set up and build is needed. 
Otherwise it is just easier to build it from scratch.
