They are better off being separately maintained; this spreads the workload
across the community, and means that if nobody uses them they naturally stop
taking up maintenance effort.
Here's an example: some 10 or so years back I needed a sequence record
with more 'output legs' than the regular sequence record, so I made
one. Most people probably long since forgot it exists, but when I
needed one again I knew where to find it. A lot of the records that
are not in base are rather specialized ...
