 From my perspective, providing both for the time being via the packages feed (not preinstalled)
is a good-enough solution. Otherwise, iterating over the project with multiple people starts to become
difficult, as multiple forks (each fixing one issue / adding one feature) start to come up and
bringing them together becomes harder and harder.

Having it not in the core repository should indicate enough that it is not a definitive solution.

Maybe I'm bringing up points which are already off the list, but at least i can try :)

Best
David
