Then why is their a browsable "Categories" link on the packages site? |

I don't agree with Ned. Organizing the packages logically makes things |
| 22 |
less confusing for the end-user and developers alike and doesn't qualify |
| 23 |
as a "cosmetic reason". It *is* valuable work, IMHO. |

That's not to say that the user tools shouldn't be improved where |
| 26 |
possible, of course. I don't think anyone would argue with that. |
