This is a leap of faith, not a well-reasoned argument. :-)

I don't think we should import the server just because we have the
client code.  In fact, I think this line of thinking is silly.

We should look at the normal considerations that come into play whenever
new imports are considered.  What's the license like, how many folks
can't do without it, what other parts of the system rely on it, what's
maintenance going to be like etc. etc.

I'm neither for nor against, provided the decision made is rational.

Oh, and this is not an appropriate forum for the discussion. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
