The constitution reads:

The SC[...] has the following responsibilities:
...
Creation and Management of Teams:
* Establish and manage teams to delegate authority on specific areas
* Delegate authority to long-term teams and committees , allowing them to evolve policies as needed
...

Was creating the categorization team in correspondence with the RFC but presumably without SC approval constitutional?

This seems fine, partially because it was approved before the SC and constitution existed (double check?). But regardless, the SC should not be a bottleneck for people to self organize and get things done. We do have a responsibility to do it when specific authority is required to be delegated. Or if a conflict exists, some contention.

Regarding the cultural norms; I like to revisit the values:

Distribute decisionmaking widely

We are a synthesis of varied but overlapping communities. We rely on distributed approaches: asynchronous communication, clear ownership, deep-dive taskforces, and local decisionmaking.

So, (my personal opinion only, not SC) is that if people are motivated to help make Nixpkgs categorization better, get organized, and establish a taskforce to do so, then I love it and support it.
