I don't think it's going to be possible. Primary contributors do no want
to put this in core and do not want to require copyright assignment to
contribute to clojure-ts-mode. Clojure-mode and cider were never moved
to the core for the same reason. I have already had this conversation
with them a number of times but was unable to make a convincing
argument. And I am inclined to agree that keeping clojure-ts-mode under
the same development model as the rest of the clojure emacs packages is
the best path forward right now.

I do understand where yall are coming from in desiring to have
clojure-ts-mode in the core. Again, I advocated for doing this for a
while, but that's not the consensus among clojure emacs devs.

Thank you,
