If they're separate libraries, they should be reviewed individually (and
serially, since we never have reviews in parallel). I don't see why our
review process can't handle that.

If the concern is that they cannot be reviewed individually, and must be
reviewed together, then they should probably be one library. (But I can't
see why this would be the case)
