We have no interest in integrating such changes into mcs.

The reason is not that I dislike the idea of splitting it up, but the
fact than the repository "history" would be rendered useless.

The history is a very important tool that we use to keep track of
changes, rationale, groupped commits and so on and it matters more to us
than the actual physical organization.
