All, looks like the architecture of the mgr supporting independent modules was quite successful :-). In recent times, I'm seeing an increasing amount of coped copied from other mgr modules. This has the obvious downside that a fix in one module leaves other modules unfixed. Like for example PR #25337. Running `pylint --disable=all --enable=duplicate-code *` within pybind/mgr reveals, in my opinion, too many duplicates. One also have to count the places where code was semantically copied (or inspired by). One obvious reason is that the mgr modules are prone to replicating code, as each module is build by many distinct teams for a specific and independent use case. Also, testing other affected modules can be quite challenging. Therefor, I'd like to raise awareness. Maybe, we can reduce copies in the future. - Sebastian
