Hi Erik, A separate manifest repository would probably be a good idea. The manifest repo is used for a lot of EdkRepo's operations so having a smaller repo dedicated repo could be beneficial from a performance standpoint.

This also supports a good workflow to get a tool that then lets you pull full platforms. In theory you would only ever really need to clone a single repo manually (assuming reasonable manifest support). Are you also looking at creating a separate manifest repo as well or just creating a manifest branch in the new EdkRepo repository?

I have considered multiple possible landing zones: 1. edk2 2. edk2-pytool-library 3. A new repository Edk2 does not seem like a good location as EdkRepo isn't strictly necessary to build EDK II, and I think all of us would prefer that edk2 not become a dumping ground. I have talked with the other maintainers of edk2-pytool-library and they would prefer that EdkRepo not enter that repository because EdkRepo does not have a robust set of unit tests yet and they don't want their test coverage metrics to decline. Therefore, the best choice seems to be a new repository. As always if anyone has comments they are welcome!
