Is there any consensus here.  From my perception closing the issue is not
really the best solution but I'm too less involved into this.

I do not think that this is the best path since per policy we have to
avoid code copies.  I wonder whether it would qualify as hackish
workaround we have no better option to choose if the solution suggested
by Bastian is no option for you.

Kind regards
