Merged repo for protocol headers? Why are they split?

Hi,
I've ever wondered why are the proto headers split up into distinct
repos? (It takes "ages" to just copy (install) a few files with
autotools.)
Dylan started to add meson support, but doing this for all protos
sounds like a lot of copy'n'paste to do, lots of patches . Wouldn't it
make more sense in general to merge all proto repos into one (meson
only) and have options if you don't want a specific proto to be
installed as we do with xcb?
Cheers,
Daniel
PS: A quick search revealed that a merge is possible even with keeping
the history.
