This is not a smart idea, because it will mean API changes in the
backend cannot fix the PLs right away (and also because it's harder to
track each core branch, something which having the actual language in
the same repo makes trivial AFAIK).  I don't understand why you keep
proposing this after having the idea shot down over and over.
