Because it's possible the cost is too high, and the benefit too low. I'm not saying that's the case, but it is the calculation. To bottomline it: can we add these in such a way that we'll see multiple implementations? To me, that should be the question for any future changes really. >> If yes, we should cover them in CSL, in as non-disruptive a way as >> possible, so that there's no need for a separate repo, or even branch >> (aside from maybe a change in version number). > > > That's obviously desirable, but for the near-term (say at least a year) > there really isn't a way around maintaining a fork of CSL for MLZ.

I understand that. But, per your point below, I don't think we should be hosting that fork.
