Up to now, I'm heavily using it in the "autoconfed" and "automade" Makefiles for my GPC projects. :-} I wouldn't exactly be glad if it was gone.
The `gp' program is supposed to be a better replacement. As you see I argue that we need enough time for smooth transition.
I fully agree here. In fact, that's why I released it now, even though it doesn't yet have some features I'd like to implement, e.g. config files (automake doesn't have them as well, so they're irrelevant for the transition).
As I said, I plan to keep automake until the next non-alpha/beta release (gpc-2.2, or perhaps gpc-3.0, given the new features, and to converge towards the gcc version).
Afterwards I think it's a good time for several big cleanups (automake, gcc-2.x support, `asmname' and other deprecated features).
