Of those, 3.5 years Eelco enjoyed implicit monopoly on CppNix - and hasn't contributed to bringing Meson closer to reality. Then, roughly at the same time, Meson RFC (which is still open) and Nix team were created. In those 1.5 years, the team figured out the internal stuff and was discussing on how to proceed with Meson. Only recently (last month) progress was made on starting the migration to Meson.

Overall, the issue is more complex than just Eelco blocking the migration for five years. The example chosen is a poor one.
