3 reasons in this direction:

Providing FFI bindings to this library set is enough for a repo/project... the canvas can seen as an "extra"
As this project and Bloc-Alexandrie evolved, more and more it looked like if AeCanvas is build to fit in what Bloc needs
There are plans in the horizon to create an Alexandrie-Cairo backend for Athens and merge it into Pharo as a replacement of current Athens-Cairo, and this should imply replacing Freetype too.

Hello @rvillemeur do you use AeCanvas by installing Bloc, then this would make no difference to you? or do you load Alexandrie only, without Bloc?

Hi @tinchodias , this won't make any difference to me. I'm not using Alexandrie as a standalone install, I'm using it as part of bloc.
