h3. Moving vendor/lineage to vendor/replicant for Replicant >= 10
*Background infos:*
* We can't simply symlink vendor/replicant to vendor/lineageOS since some files would be included twice otherwise.
*For*:
* Consistent with previous Replicant versions
* The build scripts are in vendor/replicant and already mentioned in the build tutorials
*Against*:
* Lowers the amount of maintenance and the amount of work for keeping the current version up to date and to make new Replicant version in a very significative way:
** Moving it would require to fork many repository just for changing the path to vendor/replicant
** All the repositories will need to be rebased or merged which is time consuming
*Result:* Decided against moving it
*Rationale*:
* Lowering the cost of maintenance was more important than the short term convenience gained by having it in vendor/replicant
* We will try to find other ways to have the scripts in vendor/replicant (and only the scripts)
