No its exactly not (although the original idea might have been something like this)

PUB is the namespace for the official modules that BRL did not write themself but which are still officially maintained and supported.
For this reason, already LUA was moved out as it is not officially supported through BRL.

Reason is quite simple, why not put it there: All modules within BRL and PUB are automatically imported unless framework is used. This behavior was added with 1.16 or 1.18 so at least from that point on, all 3rd party modules should NOT have been within PUB any further!

I've moved all modules out there from 3rd party (even precompiled, as anyone can change their modserver by simple find-replace on the .i files) as Eliza and others, which depend on DLL caused many errors with "reference not found" and the like.

So please people, get used to NOT put your 3rd party into PUB any further.
I would vote for a 3rd semi official modserver like private (thats what I've called my regular 3rd party modserver) or something similar.
