Comment:
Please tag maintainers when you propose to restructure their packages, especially if "restructure" means "kidnap".

What benefit accrues from the SDK as packaged? The major bits are available as standalone packages and could be built separately as independent packages. The SDK itself just makes for an awkward template and adds a utility library that doesn't seem to be used anywhere. It's usually desired to wait until some "end-user" application to be packaged for Void requires libraries (including header-only libraries) before packaging the libraries themselves, so CLHPP and the utility library could just as well wait until they are needed.

The ICD loader may have some value, but what is the argument for replacing the existing loader with this? Yes, it comes from Khronos, but yanking an existing package out from users and replacing it with another may not be the right choice.
