My main objection was about moving packages. So whatever module you
create is fine, but let's not start moving libreoffice and org-mode
around.
As the person who originally suggested organizing tui-apps into a file, I'd envisioned it as being sort of like its own desktop environment. So similar to how we might put Gnome (GTK) apps and KDE (Qt) apps together, we might put tui (ASCII terminal) apps together.
I am not upset if that's unconvincing to others & will happily drop the proposal if it's not useful, I never intended for it to become a drawn out discussion. It also makes sense to me that we might organize things by programming language or by function, those each have strengths as strategies.
