 Please do consider plain English too, while doing so, as I have no
 idea what you mean by what you wrote in your last sentence:)

 hey -- I did 'highlight' the hard term, after all ;)

 Axes -- pl. of axis -- a collection of vectors of classification.


Axes -- pl. of axe -- a tool used to chop (traditionally wood) into 
smaller pieces.

As a native English speaker, I assumed you were metaphorically going to 
take an axe to the page and chop it up.

 Here a series of partitions of the Repositories page refactor
 problemspace, which I will use to carve it up into a more
 intelligible (and one hopes, more useful) taxonomy

 yes -- I really did think thru the problem (and many other
 tecnical matter problems) just that way. ;)

Again, I would reiterate Ralph's request for you to use plain English[1] 
when communitcating with this list, especially considering that it's a 
documentation list.

Shall I use crayons as well, to make the pictures easier for 
you?  Words of not more than two syllables?

No -- I will not kowtow to the shallow end of the gene pool. 
Pick your fights elsewhere.
