So, to be explicit:
<FESCo hat on>
The spin description, and spin contents, need to be put in line, so that users installing the spin will get what they will expect to get by reading the description; either by changing the description to more precisely match the limited amount of what the spin currently does, or by changing the scope to match the fairly ambitious description.
</FESCo hat on>

Also, without wielding the FESCo hat, at least to me that the discussion of philosophy and hierarchies is obscuring rather than clarifying the purpose and scale of the project.
