As the person who originally asked about using hieroglyph instead of landslide, I’ll say I don’t really care one way or the other either. I pointed out that hieroglyph builds on a tool many contributors are already familiar with, which might reduce the overhead for contribution, but landslide isn’t that complex so it may not be work rebuilding everything to use a new tool.

We also no longer need all build dependencies listed in the global requirements list, so it would be possible to install and use the tool in a job without syncing requirements from the global list.
