The read-only repo is only useful if you don’t intend to contribute stuff back upstream.  There is no convenient workflow for cloning libunwind / libc++ / libwhatever, hacking on it, and sending pull requests.

There have been multiple discussions, and the conclusion from all that I have participated in was that projects that are tightly version locked to LLVM should be in the monorepo, everything else should be separate.  Apparently there is now a plan underway to not do this and to make life harder for people who work on the projects that are not version locked to LLVM.

I am simply repeating the objections that numerous people have made in each of these discussions.
