Description
Some code in org.springframework.boot.context and sub-packages is quite foundation and we could consider moving it. 4.0 gives us an opportunity, but we also don't want to make upgrades too hard so we should consider things carefully.
- Most of the direct
org.springframework.boot.contextpackage feels likeorg.springframework.boot.supportcode. org.springframework.boot.context.properties.bindfeels like a foundation feature and could move toorg.springframework.boot.properties.bind(we'd also then need to decide onorg.springframework.boot.context.properties.source)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the org.springframework.boot.context and org.springframework.boot.context.properties.bind packages, including their usages and the org.springframework.boot.context.properties.source package. Done requires a decided package-ownership and migration approach for 4.0 that considers upgrade compatibility; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
