I'm completely sold now that we must split the repositories. Right  
after Horde 5.2 release. To keep being able to fix bugs that crop up  
after the final release, we indeed need to work out the tools first  
though.

I even want to go a step further and discuss whether we want to move  
completely to github with version management. Having one (large)  
system less to maintain would help our limited resources. The code  
review and commenting and PR systems are awesome too.
