My personal opinion in general goes towards messages in their own 
stacks, as I have been affected multiple times by large dependencies 
being pulled in sooner or later. On the level of released packages, you 
don't gain anything by putting the messages in their own package (the 
stacks dependencies remain). If the planner stack only has few 
dependencies or the messages make sense to be used only with this 
planner's stack I think it's fine, but otherwise I would usually go for 
the extra stack.


Best,
Armin
