The point is really about having enough of a separation that taking the cleaned-up sources and publishing them, and then using them as input for the next step doesn't feel like splitting up a process. It's to conceive of them as two separate processes, each with a useful output that stands on its own, even though they can be combined into a pipeline if that happens to be convenient. I don't know enough about the system you describe as to tell whether the separation that exists is enough to make these different steps come across as sufficiently separate as to make them runnable separately and independently, and for them to come across as conceptually independent. -- Alexandre Oliva, happy hacker https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo/ Free Software Activist GNU Toolchain Engineer Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
