Discussion:
Moved in I know there's nothing enforcing this, but the terminal folder should rarely be depended upon outside of debug/tasks. Having in platform/terminal means that platform/request depends on the terminal which creates a weird relationship: platform/request -platform/terminal contrib/terminal -platform/request Terminal only exists in platform so that it can be used in the pty host, I'd prefer to keep it similar to a workbench contrib where nothing else in platform depends on it. If no other folder makes sense I propose creating a as it's a similar theme to what's going on in The original seemed fine but I don't understand the tangle.
