Apologies, i read your comments as advocating for folding it into the code base. But please let me clarify what that means to me. I am not advocating for or against keeping these projects in the same repository, I am advocating for a clean break from the forks and ownership of these projects (which has all but already happens it seems). If there is no feasible upgrade path these projects probably deserve their own namespace, documentation and TLC.
To me it would be easier to extend and customize in the sense of a much lower learning curve. Currently there are Mezzanine specific features in each of the projects that are made much more difficult to discover by not only the lack of documentation, but the naming conventions. A new developer can easily miss the subtle implications of the decision to fork these projects and it is by far and away not clear that there has been a clean break until you try to upgrade grappelli/filebrowser. I mean something as simple as just changing the names of these projects would go a LONG way here. Mezzanine-filebrowser + mezzanine-admin sounds good to me and would add tons of clarity to the dependency chain.
