I would love to see this standardised but it would need the attention of the various stackholders in order to happen. I can list many other areas where we(Linux Tools) fail on sharing code pretty badly.
For well known reasons - I would encourage using the lightest(fewer dependencies count!) and best integrated with the platform one. Linux Tools becoming a project that depends on everything under the sun doesn't make me happy.
