I've been delayed a long time in responding to that discussion

Yes, it does. The question is which uses the package should facilitate
and which uses the package should not facilitate.

Who wrote the code is not the issue. The issue is, do we want to HAVE
code in Emacs to do that particular thing.
I am not sure whether the this particular feature is a significant
issue. Maybe it is a minor issue; maybe there is no real need to
refuse to facilitate using LLDB in this particular way.
