Where there's a consensus to move the userboxes, I don't see any harm in
keeping a central library. Even if you don't move them into that userspace,
you could have redirects pointing out *from* User:UBX to the actual
template/userpages involved.

As far as where the consensus is, I haven't touched or looked at anything
involving the userbox wars for quite some time. I suppose, if everything is
located in or pointed at from the userspace of User:UBX, then you might be
able to make a template which accepts userbox names as a parameter and calls
the relevant subpages.

But not sure if other people will think that's a good idea. ;)
