I'm not convinced, I'm afraid. According to the SMHasher README [0]:
This is the home for the MurmurHash

<https://github.com/aappleby/smhasher/tree/master/src> test suite
used to
verify them.
So that would count that as an independent upstream distribution of
murmurhash, right?
My understanding is that SMHasher does not create a library, but just
provides raw source code, leaving it up to 3rd party software authors
to
integrate it into their applications. Is that right?
Yes. I don't see how that matters though, it is still bundling which should be
avoided if possible right? What am I missing?
So far my understanding has been that, in Guix, we don't want to create
Guix-specific distributions of upstream code. SMHasher is the canonical
source for Murmur, but SMHasher doesn't seem suitable for building a
library that other applications can use, right?
