There can be multiple versions of the web-vault which are compatible
with the current version of vaultwarden, so keeping it independent makes
it easy to update it separately.
Also the web-vault has had more frequent releases, not always breaking,
mostly bug fixes. So it would be good to have them when possible. It's
rare that the breakage happens but not impossible, so I wanted to get
more testers.
One of the reasons why I initially made it separate was that the web
vault is not developed by vaultwarden themselves, more of a patching of
the upstream bitwarden web vault by removing branding. So I thought it
made more sense to keep them in separate places.
Also didn't want to trigger a build of vaultwarden every time the web
vault got a new release, my build machine is slow and rust is chonky.
Not a big difference imo.
