No there is no chance that we switch over to Shake for 7.12. At the moment it's nowhere near ready for prime time.

Thanks for clarifying!

But I do hope that we'll have material progress on a side-by-side build system before 7.12 comes out. It probably won't do everything but it should do some things well. I hope.

Andrey, I look forward to seeing an update on things. Cheers, - Ben
