You can't build a sandwich of SFW -> spec -> SFW -> spec without
potentially breaking something. For example samba (in SFW) linked
against gnutls (in JDS) by mistake and when JDS updated gnutls,
it broke samba. If they were built together, this would not
have happened.
That sounds far more like an ARC contract that should have been there but
wasn't (or wasn't honoured), than a technical issue.
