Hi, I think you missed my point. I know I can technically load the code from multiple places :).
For Moose, PetitParser is an important component that is being developed by the team. Up to now, we did that, hence it made perfect sense to have it in the Moose team repository and in our responsibility. Moving is no problem, as long as we ensure that others actually do something, and that the development does not go in strange directions (which I agree it is unlikely). As I said, it would be great to see PetitParser in the Pharo image and be used by Opal.
