The idea behind the new setup would be that the only ‘core’ content of 
openlilylib is some basic infrastructure, such as is contained in 
/ly/_internal. Every library can be used independently and arbitrarily, 
so they don’t make up any ‘core’.

Well, the memory size has never been the point, I think. It’s rather the 
difficulty of maintaining and managing a potentially great number of 
libraries, if e.g. everybody with push access to any of the libraries 
can push to all the other libraries too.
