I agree (as I said in a post a few weeks ago). Ease-of-use
guidelines for decades have recommended that all information accessible in
one view be accessible in the others - certainly not necessarily by
default, but accessible, and several projects I've worked on have listed
that explicitlay as an exit criterion (we had to prove that all the info
was there in all views or we couldn't ship). I'm not saying that
Mandrake has to do that - a day before shipment is a bit late to argue
criteria :P
I do strongly believe, however, that the fewer opportunities for
Mandrake in particular and Linux in general to be labelled a geek's
paradise with magic decoder rings needed throughout, the better our
chances against The Redmond Entity. Package selection, and the
"magic decoder ring" of flat view, is just one of the areas where
we're needlessly down on our knees begging to be kicked. And TRE
will be more than happy to oblige.

Indeed :)
Anyway, all packages aren't
classified into categories, imho it'd have
been good if it
was.
