Yes we have to vendor "k8s.io/" all the time in multiple packages but I doubt
it would be of help if Kubernetes provide a "-dev" library because
it is notoriously unstable with frequent breaking changes.
Ideally that's how it should be done but, pragmatically speaking, Kubernetes
can never migrate to "testing" hence everything that depends on it will be
unsuitable for release.

The partial solution might be to introduce another source package only with
portion of Kubernetes that provides a shared library but that will require
proper dependency management which is being discussed here.

Yes indeed. We should not need to argue that cooperation is important.
Cooperation should always be a default mode of operation.
