Speaking as a gnulib *user* I would be happy to see this happen. The specific pain point for me is narrower than this however: Currently it does not seem to be possible to specify (in gnulib-tool) that you want only --lgpl=2 modules for one part of a project and don't care less about the modules used by another part of a project. This makes gnulib a minefield if part of your project is a library (that must be LGPLv2) and another part is a set of GPL'd tools. This is basically why the hash module got accidentally added to libguestfs -- it started being used by a tool and got pulled in as a library dependency later.
