Do you mean it is pointless because categories are pointless, or because |
| 8 |
it is not worth the trouble of doing the move? I assume we inherited |
| 9 |
the category idea from fbsd ports. |

Since we have categories (and assuming we'll keep them), I think that |
| 12 |
things should be categorized as correctly as possible (perhaps it's not |
| 13 |
the highest priority, but better to have it right than not, eventually). |

If it is better to have scipy in sci-libs rather dev-python, then |
| 16 |
perhaps other dev-python packages (like you said) should be moved |
| 17 |
elsewhere to be consistent. A quick look at the fbsd ports shows that |
| 18 |
scipy is in "science" and numpy is in "math" (for example), so that |
| 19 |
agrees with your feeling that neither belong in dev-python. |
