Makes sense indeed, although my point was not really about the
"desktop" work but about the distinction - it was not a suggestion but
just a way in which the diagram would have made more sense to me.

Agreed, and indeed we should start working on this.

I partly disagree here. In the first frameworks sprint we also created
a plan which was shared afterwards - I am not talking about making a
decision but proposing one. We all know by our experience that a
targeted group of people meeting in person can easily speed up the
job.

That said, I agree that there are more pressing and important items on
the agenda
