actually i disagree.

as far as the current state goes its alot easier and more maintainable
if the scripts are in a central package.

if you disagree not a problem. but id really expect then that you are
going into the projects and fixing up the scripts individually then.

Generally i also think that we should have choice. Friendly
competition among systems is a healthy thing. Think if you have
multible systems with different scripts its unlikely upstream is going
to maintain all of them. Especially considering you want clean and
tidy scripts...

p.s. its always easy to say something has to happen if you are not
planning on doing it.
