As I said on the bug, I don't really think this makes sense. |
| 12 |
metadata.xml will show either 'electronics' or 'sci-electronics', |
| 13 |
however you name it. You can use herdstat or many other tools to display |
| 14 |
things in many different ways related to package maintainers/herds/etc. |
| 15 |
Naming herds after categories doesn't really make sense when there isn't |
| 16 |
a 1-to-1 mapping of herds and categories. |
