I'd look at referring to an external package only if it is big, changes a lot
or something breaks; and in the case of the VFD modbus library (really just two
files) I think including them is sufficient
I dont think its worth the extra dependency and seeing what has changed -
modbus looks like a stable thing to me
what I'll eventually do is integrate the vfs11 driver and make sure only one
copy of modbus.c/h is included, it can share with gs2_vfd which has a modbus.c
3 years older
afaict HAL comps dont use it; classicladder has its own modbus driver

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
