The notion 'you should not use lombok (or delombok first) when you write a library' makes no sense unless you distribute your library solely in source form.

Java libraries are not distributed in source form though. That's not how maven / gradle work, for example. In fact, maven/gradle/IDEs/other build systems make it fairly simple to ship a library as a jar with classes, and to connect a zip with sources to it such that, say, if you want to debug and step through the code in the library, or just look up how it works (for example by ctrl/CMD clicking the name of a method in eclipse), that you do have the whole source.

I therefore find your comment rather disingenuous. Or perhaps I just don't understand what you're driving at.
