The question I ask is ... does every herd have a project it fits under?
I doubt it. And if it doesn't, is it really considered a project? Or is
that just a generic name given now? I guess a see a distinction between
herds and projects that our current documentation url layout doesn't
cover it well. To me, it should have its own herd/fooherd layout
(example being www.gentoo.org/herd/en/netmon). Otherwise you're going to
confuse our users into thinking that herds are projects when they're
really just herds. Granted, some herds may be just a project, but I'm
mainly after the herds that have no real project to fit under.

I understand the block was lifted for projects, but that doesn't mean
herds should all should fit underneath proj/. I think we should open up
a similar space just for herds.
