It's an effort/reward analysis that you are in the best position to
judge, but as an external observer there's definitely value in having
redundancy also at the level of serving content-addressable items.

So if you have the motivation to do it, I encourage you to do so!  And
if you can improve Guile-Fibers in the process, that'll benefit more
than just one code base, which would also be nice.

Thanks,

Maxim
