I believe you will find many developers sharing my view that few repositories and simple dependencies between them is a good thing. It makes tracking down what the code actually does easier since you don't need to hunt down a number of repositories with an increasingly involved dependency matrix. It also makes downloading and building the code a much cleaner exercise. I believe it even helps avoid the kind of code duplication you are complaining about. I believe it makes the code base less intimidating for new developers. There are other ways to organise a code in separate parts than making new repositories, linux is afaik only one repository (not at all implying opm should be only one, simply saying that large repositories may not be a problem). > furthermore, opm-core is already bloated with tons of stuff that for my eyes > do not appear to belong there (linear solvers, model parsing, a strategy for > dog walks, etc). some of the stuff is misplaced there to the extent that is > has been duped where it is more natural to put it (linear solver interfaces > are duplicated in porsol).

I believe most functionality from core falls under that umbrella, that it is not a requirement for every module to use the functionality. Should functionality be put in core only when every module requires it? However, it seems pretty clear that all existing opm modules need the parsing routines, so if included, parser will probably be the most used functionality from core.
