From a packaging position I'd be happy with the C++ Bindings being
included in the core, i think this is pretty common and makes sense if
there are no or minimal extra dependencies. As for other bindings i
think they would be packaged completely separately were not going to
force someone who wants to develop for C to install all of python.
Having said that for me with obs I can split out the binding files /
requirements into a separate package from the same build i'm guessing
others can't though so they probably care more. I would prefer not to
maintain a separate build for the C++ binding though, i don't see the
point.
