I think you are missing the distinction between category/package, as seen |
| 12 |
in the tree and therefore affecting users and externally visible, and |
| 13 |
herd, which many users likely aren't aware of at all, as it's primarily a |
| 14 |
Gentoo-internal way for devs to organize packages of a similar theme they |
| 15 |
may be interested in working on. |
