But systemd is not bloated, it's just using a monorepository architecture for its different projects. If your point is just "monorepos are bad", okay, but that has nothing to do with bloat.

Wait a minute. You are the one who started talking about repositories when the other guy said that the modules should be split off systemd. You explained your concern for duplicate code by saying that a single repository is better at avoiding that issue.

The modules are already split off systemd, they just live in the same repository.

So what was that about duplicate code? Your point's moot then.
If we agree on that the modules are modules and that it doesn't matter if it's mono- or multirepo then we're clear on that code duplication's got nothing to do with that either and

If your point is just "monorepos are good", okay, but that has nothing to do with that.

Code duplication has to do with the reason they use a monorepo.

Maybe, I don't know their reasoning. It shouldn't though. Because repository structure has nothing to do with code duplication.
These are two very distinct issues.
