<h2>2️⃣ From the DA side, we've had much of the team out for the holidays - so we don't have major updates today - the main thing we're doing is stabilizing some testing infrastructure changes that are going to support the new architecture of distributions on d.o planned in this issue:<span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/project_composer/-/issues/3252534" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/project_composer/-/issues/3252534</a></span></h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>bircher</td>
<td>I think this sounds like a good plan. I think the templates for projects should continue with the -project suffix, that seems like much less confusion</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Aaron McHale</td>
<td>I quite like this idea, could this eventually influence how Drupal itself is distributed, if we think of the drupal project page as a distribution of Core, and the drupal/recommended-project and drupal/legacy-project as the "templates" of the "Drupal distribution"?</td>
