Interesting, glad to hear it's already got some attention.

Yeah, absolutely. This is what I was looking for as well, as a means to
merge code as quickly as possible to minimise the fragmentation. This
means things will probably be broken, but maybe we can look at
hardening the process against breakage after we've got something in
place (and are sick of it breaking).

Right, these would be good to include.

Consistency is good (especially with respect to the REST API) if it's
easy to achieve, but I think we shouldn't get too hung up about it in
general (i.e. for tools operating outside the REST context).

What if we git-subtree the existing repos into mine? I'm happy to
maintain it.

Thanks for your thoughts!
