Descent into Avernus isn't a Planescape adventure just because a large chunk of it is set in Baator instead of Faerun.It is far more important that they make sure they get Sigil right in a product reintroducing Planescape to 5e than it is covering the entire Great Wheel cosmology, particularly given the page space limitations. I'd rather get a solid book covering Sigil and the Outlands than a mediocre book trying to cram the entire Great Wheel into 96 pages that also needs to cover character options and serve as a city-guide for Sigil.Especially since a focusing on Sigil and the Outlands here doesn't render the possibility of getting a proper Manual of the Planes at some point down the road redundant, which trying to cover the entire Great Wheel would.</blockquote>
