12 That was actually my first choice as well, but after talking to robbat2 about
13 it, we decided on 'theology' instead. The fact is, all the packages but one we
14 currently maintain are directly and obviously related to religion, and it seemed
15 like it would be silly to create herds for each social categorization. In the
16 end, I tried my best to make up for it by noting in the herds.xml that the
17 description is to take care of "Religious, genealogy, humanities-related packages".

19 Also, for the curious, here's the list of packages the herd will help to take
20 care of:
21
22 Packages(8): app-misc/gramps
23 app-text/bibletime
24 app-text/gnomesword
25 app-text/sword
26 app-text/sword-modules
27 games-misc/fortune-mod-mormon
28 games-misc/fortune-mod-scriptures
29 kde-misc/kio-sword

31 If I missed anything, please be sure to let me know.
