Hi,

Most of those packages are earlier MK work by Thomas. There's still
quite a bit of useful stuff there like the various wrappers that are
conceptually closer to oak-core than oak-mk, but they'd need to be
updated to match the direction that the internals of oak-core have
lately evolved towards.

AFAIUI nobody is currently actively working on that code, but I
wouldn't like to just remove them until we've either refactored or
replicated the existing functionality in there. If people find the .mk
package in -core confusing, we could for example rename the package to
something like .todo until someone does a more thorough cleanup of the
code.

BR,
