I don't think Satoshi's intent has anything to do with it at this point.
It may make sense to consider it as advice, because, I mean, it's Satoshi: but bitcoin has become a project that is its own thing at this point -- regardless of Satoshi's intent.
If this question is what is the Constitution, the answer is what was Satoshi's intent.

How do you determine Satoshi's intent?
reply
The Genesis Block, as I mentioned, is a heavy hint.
reply
Sure, but there's a lot of room for interpretation there.
I think one reason the US ended up with a constitution rather than some writings of the founding fathers is that intent isn't really a workable basis when you need to reach consensus.

It isn't so difficult to interpret--and neither is the Constitution.
