Personally (as may already be evident) I rather like the use of
separate packages for distinct units of functionality but I'm not
particularly opposed to merging all the SPIs into a single package -
if we did so we may need to to revisit the decision if we re-
introduce some of the other SPIs that were removed in this sketch.
What do others think - one SPI package or three sub packages ?

Good point, that needs to be removed or made generic.
