What is important is that it all be one packaged solution from the same
maintainer. That is necessary for coherency of solution.

There is also benefit to it being one coherent body of code, but this is
harder to articulate. It is always hard to articulate why functionality
belongs in the same program rather than split into multiple programs.
Filesystems should provide primitives for ordering, structuring, and
naming objects. It is hard to say why we should do all of that, but on
some level I just know it is our task.
