not sure i understand the benefit of having files in a dir vs. using Issue templates and labels named eg. “Architecture Design”. then you get auto numbers, PRs that autolink back to the issue and a discussion thread

In case of monorepo where there are several independent deployment units, separating it via dir is quite simple solution. Additionally, if you move the code to some other provider, you move it together with the code (what is not guaranteed with e.g. GH issues).

However, I don't say NO. It all depends on context, if you decide to use issues - go ahead. I am a fan of pragmatism - do what you need in your context, don't blindly follow the rules
