FWIW, keep in mind that having multiple repositories can create additional work for the committers on the project, and confusion for consumers as well. There are certainly good use cases for it, but I think there are benefits to consolidating as much as possible. I know in Orion project it was a burden to have multiple repositories connected in a single CI, multiple repositories to tag with releases, multiple commits needed when a change spans repositories, multiple readme files to maintain, etc. It is perfectly allowed but my experience has been that generally less repositories is better.
