Second, COOK-1953[1]. This proposes the removal of all the source

This will help narrow the scope of nginx as a library-esque cookbook that
provides common default components that can be used no matter if nginx is
installed via package or from source - recipes, definitions, attributes,
etc.

I am against making a nginix_source cookbook when a nginix::source recipe should be sufficient.  

In terms of the "library cookbook" theres no reason you can't use  nginix::library recipe with no content. Then people can load that up and do whatever they want.   

Bigger discussion wrt library/app cooks, but IMO these goals can be obtained in the same recipe.
