git submodules are an abomination. They touch git repos for no good
reason. If someone really wants to manage a tree of git repos,
something like Google's repo tool is more appropriate, despite its
ugly dependency on XML config files.

No. Each project maintainer has to make sure that his version of libsl
is updated from time to time. But we don't force projects to break if
someone updates libsl.

Nevertheless, libsl should be the master for any adoption occurrence.
