Context
The current setup with mixins leads to:
- Mixins are extentions on the code (code depends on OpenSCD classes)
- New mixins are hard to merge back into OpenSCD-coreCore
- Change of many OpenSCD-core Core variants (all with different mixinsdifferent mixins)
Decision
We will use OpenSCD-core Core addons in order extend the OpenSCD-core Core functionality. OpenSCD add-ons are add functionality addons are added to extend the core functionality. It allows to experiment (with out without commit it directly to the core) and add functionality for just a small group of users. Once an add-on addon is used a lot and is considered stable, it can become a part of the core functionality.

Build a permanent solution directly in OpenSCD core-Core
In the alternative, the idea is to add all the functionality directly into OpenSCD-coreCore.
Pro's
- Easy to use: one single repository with all the needed functionality
...
- No room for experimentation
- Limited flexibility (these are the only
Consequences

Con's:
Risk of having 2 similar Addon's addons with similar functionality
