The flip side of the coin is that it becomes yet one more thing for us to maintain. The question to ask every time we make a decision to bundle an external source is, what happens when the current maintainer of that source (on the monotone side) leaves? Who will take over and make sure it keeps on working? There's never an easy answer to that question, and there will always be a balance to strike between ease and pain...
