I have an interest here, as I am mapping EMBOSS with BioLib - and versioning plays a role.
Appears to me that supporting Embassy has less of an interest with the core EMBOSS team. EMBOSS is changing - that is what counts. If anyone cares to keep Embassy it would make sense to package it with an earlier version. Only way to guarantee some stability. I would not try option 3, unless you are heroic. Who is using Embassy now? I have seen complaints about the size of the repository, but would it not make sense to create Embassy-with-EMBOSS-6.2? And an updated EMBOSS-6.3? Or is this against policy? With nixos this would not be a problem. Nix transparently supports different versions of dependencies. Pj.
