So we have 

* one xyz stack
* it have only above one function

* all rest 50 stacks DO NOT have references to this xyz
    this is good.

Not clear to me:
  - so developer must at first manually open xyz in the revolution?
  - then he can use rest 50 projects, right ?

Or each from 50 projects somehow on open do open that xyz stack also?
