I am setting up a super-repo for my own very private use (small home
server setup). Still working on what _recursive_ tools do I really
need (and fsck is not the most interesting one: git-diff-files is. Am
afraid of releasing a system I wont ever be able to get to the source
of).

It is, as predicted, becoming mostly work on build infrastructure and
integrity checks in the super-project. Being the sole user of this
project I'll definitely miss all the issues of really big modularized
projects, though.

No user _can_ want it. We need to make the future less a nightmare (it
may not even become one).
