We are discussing shortcomings of a huge mono-repo which only keeps growing. GitHub's idea that you release a whole repo makes it quite impossible to release parts of Sage without a lockstep. While back in 2021 we haven't quite realised this, it's becoming clear now.
The issue #36803 is an attempt to solve software problems by HR methods. "Meditate enough and the bugs will disappear." There is however no excuse for e.g. having all the Sage spkgs in one unstructured build/pkgs/ directory, no amount of meditation and breathing exercises will cure it. As well there is no way in GitHub to separate PRs and issues for a repo into subprojects, they will always be together in one huge pile. That's why I think splitting the repo is inevitable. One obvious cutting line is to split out all the GUI, i.e. the Jupyter-related things.
