>That should not happen. Modularization is downstream to the sage library. 
Yes, we are restructuring some parts of the sage library to fit with 
modularization. But modularization should never be an obstacle in 
developing the sage library. If it ever be, the sage community might drop 
the modularization project.
We already witness multiple instances where the modularization project is 
cited as a reason not to merge certain PRs that only touch 
sage-the-library. How does this reality fit this view?


I meant the sage library as a collection of mathematical modules. If a 
certain module did not but somehow would develop to rely on the 
mathematical functionality of another module, then the design of the 
modularization should embrace the development. The splitting of the sage 
library  in the present modularization reflects the present reality of the 
separation of different mathematical parts of the sage library. But of 
course the reality may change in the future as we develop the sage library. 
Then the modularization should reflect the change, not block the change. 
However this is all about the future, unrelated to the present disputed 
PRs, including yours.
