As pointed out, splitting Amber and mainline Mesa wouldn't decrease that, because both of them are linear since the dawn of Mesa. We already have repository pools to share storage between forks, so the net storage change would be zero.</div><div><br></div><div>Given that, any suggested changes should be focused on users, e.g. discoverability of Amber vs. Mesa, making sure there are no hidden traps to lead users towards useless configurations (like building modern drivers from the Amber branch), etc.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>DanielĀ </div></div></div>
