IMO No, another similar case is redis, it contains linenoise, which is written
by redis upstream and blindly favored/stared by lots of people. I personally
think it's pretty general and not good, unlike how redis has been favored. But
upstream still uses it.

Some upstreams intend to seperate everything they have, in order to show the
distinct usage of various subprojects, however then bundle subprojects into
another subprojects to make them work together. I'd observe this, most of
upstreams know their code better than downstream packagers, if upstream can't
even handle problems correct, downstream can't handle them as well.

What I'm going to do is to open a PR and use git submodule functionality to
force upstream to keep the code up to date, and motivate them to check the
compatibilities before each new release of wcm.
