One of the reasons to have a mono repo is to avoid the mirroring of PRs between repos. If you have 40+ repos and each time a package gets updated and you need to raise 39 PRs to bump the package. It's getting really old to do mirroring etc.

Not sure how this is an improvement over using a mono repo

One thing to note is that we don't bump package versions but rather "mirror" the source code, so in that sense it works like a monorepo. But you're right that PR mirroring doesn't work beyond a certain point, and we certainly intend to scale beyond that in future
