Ah, my question was poorly phrased, I did not mean for CDT to remove MBS, since this will definitely break lots of projects, with Embedded CDT.

I'm currently doing a preliminary study on the opportunity to implement my xPack builders in Eclipse, or go directly to implement them in Visual Studio Code, and forget about Eclipse.

So when I said 'get rid of MBS' I used my developer hat, so if the new Core build is really ready for such projects, or not, from a programatic point of view.

From your answer, I understand that even if it is not ready, it is still better than using anything from the (practically) deprecated MBS.

I guess this can conclude this thread.

Since further xPack development will happen in the embed-cdt project, I posted a new message 'RFC: Proposal for a new Eclipse xPack builder' on the embed-cdt-dev list:
