When a project with the size and scope of KDE gets to be as big as it is, sometimes changing a decision established almost a decade earlier is very difficult. KDE has relied on autotools to build most of the project since its inception, but for the last year, KDE 4 has been building with CMake, a newer build system that is rapidly becoming a heavyweight contender.

This one was pretty good, but some of the others were extremely bad. The first one on Decibel comes to mind. So if Troy is still reading this thread, keep doing the article series, but work a little harder on the articles.
Fortunately for me, I wasn't the one responsible for the Decibel article. That one was produced by the KDE-promo team, a mostly ineffective design-by-committee type group. I write my articles on my own time and independent of any KDE influence. I usually go directly to the developers of a given component for my information rather than spend time bikeshedding with the promo folks.
Regarding your other suggestions, yes I could have wrote all of that content and made the article twice as long, but most of it is already covered in the various links I provided. I try not to get too technical, as my audience is mostly non-developers.
