No, googleapi should be removed from the base distribution. That makes 
it also easier to respond on changes and to release them more often. 
However this is in principle also possible with fppkg when they are in 
the base distribution.

Also I don't think that many other languages have JWT support in their 
base distribution.

To copy this into the base-distribution you also have to copy dcpcrypt. 
(MIT) Another solution would be to add a googleapi-plus package (outside 
the base distribution) that depends on both cnocRSA and the googleapi 
package.

I know we disagree on this. But it is really impossible to keep up with 
all the work that needs to be done if we have to convert all useful 
libraries out there into one base distribution.
