Sorry, I was unclear. Let me try rephrase to clarify:
ftpmaster strongly dislikes (i.e. they will reject) too tiny source
packages, but ftpmaster does not actively encourage (even if they
might
tolerate) duplicate code.
My point was not that ftpmaster rejects duplicate code (they might in
severe cases, but that is not really their task to judge on).
My point was, instead, that it is wrong to interpret the fact that
ftpmaster rejects tiny source packages as an endorsement of duplicate
source through _repeated_ embedding of same module.
"One line of code (=exaggeration for simple module) should be always
embedded independent of the number of packages that depend on it." -
