A Wizard is probably too much, but the current implementation is that there is a category called "internet", which is useless if you ask me.. Useful would be something Use Case oriented, such as "VoIP" or "Messaging" or "Communications" for example. It is human-readable and describes a group of things that belong together. Will Natty be a reasonable target release for this to work?
