Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:32 ohanar]:
 > 1. We adopt the route that we took with Pynac (as a fork of Ginac). Our
 fork might in the future become tightly coupled with Sage, but we maintain
 it as a separate package outside of Sage.

 One thing I don't like is that this will mean essentially unreviewed code
 in Sage.

 From a practical point of view, there is not much difference between code
 in the Sage library and code in some upstream project which is only used
 in Sage.

 But the code in the Sage library is supposed to be reviewed, while code in
 upstream projects is normally not reviewed (if people are using upstream
 outside of Sage, that means at least that the code is tested).

 To be honest, I also don't have an optimal solution. Maybe that's why you
 should ask for feedback on `sage-devel`.
