Yes and no. Facets are not "just" groups of related tags. Facets are supposed to have a clearly defined meaning and give context to their tags. You could say that protocol and network (and web) should be merged, because their tags are all related. Same argument applies to interface, uitoolkit and x11. However, we don't use groups but facets, which have the additional property of defining a "point of view" for their tags. So the x11 facet has tags that describe packages from the point of view of x11, interface has tags describing packages in terms of what kind of user interface they have and uitoolkit which toolkit they use. Although they all deal with user interfaces, they deal with different aspects of user interfaces and that's why they are separate facets. Same applies to software development and language. Both deal with software development, but from different viewpoints -- one is "how is the package used within development" another is "what language is the package useful with". For example, qt designer is useful to create user interfaces. It is useful with C++, python, perl and ruby (and probably more). Then, gcc is useful to compile programs. It is useful with C. Notice that it is natural to describe development package from both viewpoints separately. It is also natural to pose the questions separately: "What languages can i use with qt designer?" "What can i do with qt designer?"
