No, it's not.  It's because you're trying to extricate a lot of really
central code from a large, actively-developing codebase that everyone
else wants to remain static/stable, and has a different goal for, by
copying-and-pasting large amounts of code.

Yes, indeed.

So maybe we need to branch the code for this effort, as has been
proposed?

I just don't see a requirement for a decentralized source-control
system, here, though.
