Normally, I would agree.  However, unless Im mistaken, the splitting of
libunwind did destroy history :-(.  In that case, unless there are
objections from others (I think Nick should be included in this set), I
don't think we loose too much in the specific case of libunwind.   But, I
agree in the case of libc++/libc++abi.
