i think that it will be degradation because new base version will be
not available for users before 6.8 arrives and then it will be hard to
change this interface without breaking compatibility with existing
code. otoh, providing it as separate library solves these problems. if
developer is too lazy to cabalize his code, its not the cause to add
his module to the base. let's wait for someone who will be more eager
