     - Coordination cost (working with upstream on bugs/features)

   For ltdl, my instinct is "no".

   Just MHO :)

I imagine no one likes to hear the curmudgeon spew, but i feel it is my
duty (to GNU, Guile, and my fellow programmers) to trot out a reminder:
Live by the snub, die by the snub.

When someone applies the same instinct a few years down the line, the
libltdl reimpls (multiple, one per Guile release) will most likely
suffer from the same pronouncement.  It will be a lot of work for
everyone involved to return to the true upstream from the usurper, and
that work will not be done gladly.
