I don't really care so long as the source tree is completely separate
and grabbable. without having to grab the binary. it separate pkg's
now you've created a sychronization problem. Trivial IMHO but yet
another admin chore to contend with.

That's a good argument just make sure the developer has the right to
choose which is suitable for them. ie. separate packages.
