I'm not sure I understand (I might have missed some mails or something
since I don't remember this topic so sorry), but what is wrong with
minibidi and is this concern in relation to the shaping inclusion ?
I'm simply trying to understand the rationale noted or is it with
regard to inclusion vs. linking and being an external library, etc.

I believe it was mentioned as a simple pre-cooked Bidi+Shaping solution
that will get the job done.
