I think we should ask ourselves what is the guiding principle here, for example, if in the future I want to create yet another JDBC interpreter or Flink interpreter, should I only extend the one that already exist or can I create my own and let the user community decide? realistically I don't think we can control where people invest their time and contribution and as long as it has no licencing issues and align with other project guidance it should be up to the users to decide.
