Hi Lina, all, I disagree that we need to wait for anything as a precondition for writing the things Nicolas listed. The reason being that he listed out some very self-contained codebases. These would not depend on the kernel crate either for the most part (or at all, even, but going from memory here..). Note that the codec library in particular would rarely be touched after it's written, as the algorithms in there are more or less "set in stone" by the codec specs. Maintaining these until they can be merged would be essentially free, unless I am missing something? -- Daniel
