Monorepo is great if you're really good
Let's assume without proof that Glibc developers are good. Similarly, kernel.org developers are good as are the gcc.gnu.org people.
Should glibc, gcc and the kernel be in a monorepo?
(Cue laugh track ...)

That is actually one of the advantages of the BSDs. Kernel and base system are in one repo and released together. It simplifies development and testing. and an easier upgrade for end-users.

AFAIK, Unix did this, so BSD Unix did this, and the modern BSD derivatives still do this.
