I'm sorry to intrude in this discussion, but did you get this message from the 
paper that sysadmins wrote or from other discussions? (private or on the 
mailinglists...)

Because AFAIK the decision was to let every module to decide what's best for 
them, and I think that, precisely for the reasons that Albert states, you 
should be encouraged to keep a big repositories with all the application that 
need/want to be in there. Other repositories are doing that too! And there is 
always the possibility to split, later, if there are some problems.

I just want to make sure there will not be an unfortunate misunderstanding 
here. :)

Remember that git is very efficient in handling the history, so this point is 
not really life changing (or even too much noticeable).
