Description

sortingcomponents and spikeinterface have different targets (developers VS users) and development pace (fast VS slow).

I suggest factoring out sortingcomponents into its own package.

Research direction

Start by mapping where sortingcomponents and spikeinterface are defined, packaged, and imported, then review their dependency and release boundaries. Identify the packaging and compatibility decisions needed to make sortingcomponents a standalone package. Done means the separation is implemented without breaking the existing project’s stated user-facing functionality.
