Hi toudi! I think the point is that most people will package Symfony inside each project. In fact, that's the recommended approach, because then you don't have to worry about different projects needing different versions of Symfony.
However, your suggestion is totally fine - we won't bring this into core - but you're more than welcome to setup your projects so that they each draw from the same, central Symfony libraries. You've definitely got that flexibility. Thanks!
