Well, many of the user space tools migrated to meson (not only Mesa), other big
project use it (e.g. GIMP), I'd say meson + ninja are mature now. And I would
not be worried much for python3 compiler dependency, we have it for the host on
kirk anyway (we certainly don't want it on the guest).

Anyway, patchset merged.

Kind regards,
