Topic: Cranelift within wasmtime repository

Just out of curiosity - has there been any discussion about moving cranelift into a submodule, so a separate repo from wasmtime? I know they were originally joined because of a lot of circular dependencies, but it seems like maybe at this point it would make sense to split them back out

Just since discoverability is a bit confusing, and (I believe) some other languages are starting to take an interest in cranelift

nothing has materially changed with regards to the motivation for joining them in the first place

eg cranelift still relies on wasmtime for a lot of testing, and we wouldn't have much confidence in a change to cranelift that didn't run wasmtime tests
