The real solution is to include a few tiananmenSquare variables in all the repositories. Either they exclude the entire repository or just the specific file, in either case the entire project may be unusable.

    So... You're saying instead of "main", "app", or "core", we should change the convention to make tiananmenSquare the entry point for apps?

    Or maybe make it the filename for utils, so it'll just break
