I understand that mockup whats to be a bower component but I don't see why
it can't be a bower component and at the same time a python egg, if its
mockup-core that breaks because of that maybe we can change mockup-core, a
js piece of code that is also on our codebase. Adding submodules adds CI
problems, complexity and it will more difficult to track mockup inside
plone.

As I understand mockup is first a project born in plone as its widgets js
framework, and its widgets are inside plone as its any of its codebase, so
first is a plone package, from the plone community that serves plone needs.
I want that mockup is a bower component that can be reused, but I don't
want to priorize this in front of a good setup for plone.

One important point is that I would love to have discussed that before
applying on the code, half of my sites are affected by this situation.
