The thread does mention that atoms should be first, as well.
It also makes sorting and viewing much easier (all related atoms are
together).

It would be nice if these could be better documented.

'enhancement' gets the most use from me for oldnet/openrc feature
requests.

I think the keyword should be there.

If anybody else things the keyword should NOT be there, I'd like to hear
from them here.

Additionally, there used to be an old webapp where you could select by
dev/herd and see how many days every package with that dev/herd had been
in ~arch for all given arches. Something like that easily usable would
be handy again, as a stop-gap to automatic stabilization.
