OpenShadingLanguage, OpenImageIO, OpenColorIO -- all the Blender dependencies maintained by this foundation. All seem to be calling each other as dependencies. It would be nice if there were one base library containing the code for all of them, that stayed up to date with LLVM, because it's hard to keep up with the versions needed in every case, in order to compile any of them, or Blender.
If the right code we're refactored out, the libraries and Blender could all stay up-to-date at the same time. I guess this issue is too subjective to ever be resolved any time soon. But since it's an issue of software quality why not consider it.
