Github user pnowojski commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5134 @zentol putting this code in external repository would make those benchmarks very fragile, since they depend on Flink internals. Almost any refactor made in Flink's network stack would brake the external repository (of which most committers are not even aware of) and would require coordinated commits, which would be unmaintainable. @greghogan hmmm, that's a very tempting option, however I'm not the one that must be convinced that such option is legally viable.
