Description

As seen in recent discussions about where a Mixer class should live (see cyclus/cycamore#399), the messaging on where different packages should live is not as clear as it should be.

CEP2 states that Cyclus should be for agent-based simulation (which necessarily includes archetypes), 2nd and 3rd party packages should be oriented around domain-specific models (explicitly including cycamore).

While it is understood that domain-specific models should not be in cyclus, it is not clear whether domain-agnostic models should be allowed in officially supported domain-specific packages.

Research direction

Start by reading CEP2 and the linked cyclus/cycamore#399 discussion about where the Mixer class should live. Clarify whether domain-agnostic models belong in officially supported domain-specific packages, and document the resulting package-placement guidance in a new or overhauled CEP.
