we cannot extend number of modules in trunk forever. Probably some<br>

<br>
Why?<br>
<br>
Keeping modules in trunk ensures that any breakage resulting from<br>
changes to APIs or to the build system will be noticed. Also, the<br>
module will be included in the linkage database created by<br>
tools/sql.sh, and in any recursive grep of the source tree.<br>
<br>
Personally, I'd rather see most "normal" add-ons moved into trunk.<br>
<br>
OTOH, v.in.dwg should be moved to add-ons unless LibreDWG support is<br>
expected in the foreseeable future.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
