- For this asymptotic expansion project we had to create a separate
`asymptotic_expansion_index.rst` in `src/doc/en/reference/rings`, which
seems a bit unnatural. Including it also was not easily possible. Thus
having it in `sage.asymptotic` will create less unnatural constructions
and seems to be more like it should be.
- Also the structure of the reference manual supports this choice: In its
main index there is a section on standard rings and fields (`sage.rings`).
The asymptotic expansions definitly do not belong there. The best fit (and
a good one as well) is the main calculus section of the reference manual,
where it now (since #19083) is.
- #18528 will live in `sage.manifolds` as well. There are already projects
directly in `sage.*`, e.g. quivers, quadratic forms, ...
- The asymptotic expansion project not only consist of the
`AsymptoticRing` (public), but there are term monoids and growth groups
(but both more private than the ring) as well.
All in all `sage.asymptotic` seems to be the right choice.
