A significant difference with the current Kotlin package is that I'm planning to remove (if possible) all embedded copies of libraries. This will require to patch some of them that were forked by JetBrains to fix or add features.
I'm not sure this is a good idea, because it diverges from upstream, increases the maintenance burden, and could potentially break kotlin if such a dependency gets broken and can no longer compile (due to kotlin being broken). For kotlin I'd recommend keeping it simple and sticking to the upstream layout as much as possible. Saving a few kilobytes isn't important here.
