FWIW, I agree with Dmitry here.

So why don't we add a comment to those libraries and say: "if
you're considering simplifying this code and adding some more features,
consider installing Damien Cassous's as a :core GNU ELPA package
in the core" .

Would this work for everyone?

Having it in ELPA is good for me if I ever want to upgrade it, then make SLY
use it. But the clincher would be that you implement mutable trees :-)
