Which is one of the reasons why I am behind the idea of *unique* package
names, even if that involves some redundand naming. It's for the greater
good.  The package name being tied to its category is evil and it also
means that we'll never see multiple categories per package, or more
descriptive category names, or any other of these goodies. Ever.
