Yes, so if you want to make them use the same version control system (not a strange requirement, see Google monorepo), then the system should be all-encompassing, and not limited to one type of user.

And it may turn out that features meant for one type of user are also useful for other types of user. For example, programmers may need to store large image files as part of a deep-learning image classification system.

I'm usually not a fan of packing as many features as possible into a single tool, but in case of version control it makes sense. (A pluggable/modularized approach should of course be used if possible).

You are absolutely right! A tool that can cover everyones needs is a great goal, and a pluggable or modularized approach might be even the best. SnowFS is not a one-way street, there are certain features that are currently investigated to be feature-proposed for libgit2. Means, this project is a great way to explore the possibilities without any historical or technical barriers because it is so lightweight. Best proof are the benchmarks
