I'm assuming the only issue is you want to keep the single package per 
repo policy, rather than any technical/logistical issue with managing 
the code?
I have no problem creating it, it is same project as far as i am 
concerned, just needs separation due to packaging.
let's give a day for comments in case someone has an issue for some 
reason, and I'll create it if no objections.
