Well, then it should be the Code::Blocks people who better improve their
import system.
It would benefit them more than us, because they would improve the
compatibility with lots of MSVC projects out there.

If we would have enough manpower to maintain the Code::Blocks backend and
see the advantages in using it, we would most-likely keep it. But as there
is already a consent among the devs that this backend is a candidate for
deletion, it should be obvious that we don't have the manpower.
The Code::Blocks people should rather have it, because they can exclusively
focus on creating an IDE while we currently need to care about Build
systems, code all the way up from kernel-mode to user-mode, the Website
components, etc with just a small team.

Just my 2 cents for justifying in detail why we're removing the backend.
