An early plan was to move to our own googlesource repository (or the like), but Chandler suggested we stay in compiler-rt, as a separate directory that could be a slice of the new git monorepo. This appeared to be acceptable to everybody involved (Chandler, Kostya S., Petr, Roland, Julia), and is now the plan of record. Once the standalone version is in, the non-standalone Scudo will likely be deprecated, although this part hasn’t been formalized yet.

So now we have a project that is loosely coupled to LLVM, can be built without any other parts of LLVM, can be built as part of another shared library that takes no dependencies on LLVM, will have contributors that do not contribute to the rest of LLVM, but requires a clone of the entire LLVM project to be able to access?

This is precisely the use case that caused many objections to the everything-in-the-monorepo model.
