Sorry, I was unclear: My question was about decision, not technical 
implementation.

Let me try again:

I have heard several times that the organisation of packages in the 
PureOS team had meaning historically and likely have less or no meaning 
nowadays.

My question is how do the PureOS transition from "likely ought to have a 
plan or create one" to "has a plan" on this matter?

Again, sorry for my ambiguity - let me try again:

How can Purism in general recognize if the PureOS team a) is in the 
process of transitioning from wanting a plan to having one or b) not 
being in such process.

(Obvisouly if one day the PureOS team announces "this is our plan!" 
there is no doubt, but if the PureOS team stops wanting a (new) plan 
then that is indistinguishable to being in the process of getting one.)


Kind regards,
