I know that Miro has expressed concerns about splitting language-specific tools into different repos because it tends to be more difficult to get those tools into broad use if they're separate releases. Perhaps separate git repos and a unified release are not mutually exclusive, though. What

I can see some benefits of having some standalone domain-specific repos, like a repo for Python scripts. However, I think Python is one of the special cases, splitting out all the scripts would seem to me an overkill. And if we split only some and leave the rest in rpm, it's more mess than we

I think having them in one repository makes more sense to me because of sharing some code, knowledge and so on If there would be bunch of separate repos, you'd need to implement CI for each of them and so on. I think the best would be to get interested people aboard and move things like

@torsava @Conan-Kudo @hroncok @gordonmessmer @ignatenkobrain, opened this to avoid further polluting #1195 with this. The topic is not Python specific but the Python bits have an obviously active community around it so it's a good candidate for splitting, feel free to tag others into discussion
