Because the new system was created to simplify things.  If we then have 
makemake plus everything else we had in v1.7, all we've done is 
complexify things further.  I then have to try convincing people to 
ignore the comfort of project files and do it my way.

If there are no project files and the policy is clear that there never 
will be, simplicity is maintained.

On another note, you may be interested to know that you can download 
nightly Subversion repository dumps.  See the new fetch-backup script. 
If you decide you still want a local repository, it might be nicer for 
you to just load up a copy of the most recent dump instead of 
maintaining a completely separate repository.
