You’re right that it’s different from the situation of .so files.
However, unbundling still clarifies the dependency graph by making code
reuse visible, and it allows us to make sure a security update in
RapidJSON propagates to all its users, should that happen.

Yeah it could complicate things, but in some cases it’s a no-brainer.
Could you give it a try and see whether there are any roadblocks?

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
