Sure but as Johannes and Andi pointed out. Nothing keeps us from allowing
developers to share named trees for some larger developemnt like the taint
model, traits, bison2lemon and what not. Unlike what we had to do for
flex2re2c we get support whereever that branch is. If Lukas only problem is
centralizing these developments for easier access then we should have each
of these developments be reflected on a named branch the main repository.
But that only makes it more complex which is as I guess where your point
comes from.
