"Non-recursive make" is indeed a nice paradigm for various reasons,
but if you've read earlier threads on this list, actually
_implementing_ it is not quite that trivial.

You're essentially using a global namespace for everything, and you've
got to write your makefiles with that in mind, and it can cause some
wrinkles and inconveniences.  There are tradeoffs...
