[Freeipa-devel] Why do we have so much duplicated code?

[John Dennis]

I constantly find identical code spread across multiple files. Is there 
a reason for this code duplication? (Perhaps trying to keep import name 
spaces isolated?)

It seems to me code duplication is bad software practice for obvious 
reasons.

If there isn't a compelling design justification for the duplication can 
we start moving some of this stuff to common libraries?
