It would be good to clarify. There is another package I maintain in Debian, udunits, thats a C library but also provides a "canonical" units database. It would be good not to  duplicate (reuse libudunits-data in unyt etc ?)

I know that the situation if far from perfect; however both unyts and astropy.units are currently hand-written (and hand-optimized) and do not have a structured "database" behind. This will probably make it difficult to unify them. And both packages are so deeply integrated in their "universe" (astropy resp. yp-project) that even a unification within the (rather small) astronomy community did not happen yet.

Cheers
