I explained that in the discussion we had back in December.  See

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-12/msg00917.html

> Comments?

We had this discussion in December, and I think at least some aspects
were agreed upon; one of them is that using Git submodules is probably
the best alternative.  Why don't we pick up where that discussion has
left off, instead of starting it all anew?

Thanks.
