When a new, general facility has been developed because Gnus needed it, it would be counter-productive to not distribute it with Gnus just because it's not Gnus-specific. I don't mind if you distribute it with Gnus. The point is to install it into Emacs. But when merging, the general stuff should not end up in the Gnus directory, though. If that means thinking of these added files as Emacs facilities rather than as part of Gnus, that would do the job.
