I agree with joining libraries, but the creators of the libraries might
not, especially when parts are in both libraries. Then which do you
keep? It may also take a lot of effort to match the scale, coordinate
system, and insertion point of the parts. I know it was a real pain for
me trying to add an Anton Raves minifig to one of my L3P'd models, and to
mix L2P and L3P output for my Fallingwater landscape.[1]
How do the library authors feel about this? If I remember correctly,
Lars had a combined LGEO-L3P in mind originally, but Lutz was reluctant.
I have no idea how Anton or Paul feel.

[1] There wasn't enough memory to L3P the 10,000 piece landscape, so I
used L2P. To make things render quicker, I reduced the one LGEO part
needed to a box and a cylinder, but I still had to translate and scale
the landscape correctly to fit the L3P'd building.

First to make clear: L2P uses a library of parts, about 630 by the latest update L3P uses LDraw parts and converts them directly, as I know, so with L3P you can get all parts which are in your parts-directory.
