Yea, this is exactly why I want to organize stuff a bit better.

Well, it seemed like a small tool, having a TLP for which is a gross overkill, 
and it is used to switch compiler variants. But then you are right - it is 
used for many more nonrelated packages (the related modules I have here are: 
binutils, compiler, gnat, java-nsplugin, java-vm, but this is less than 50%), 
so we can cross it out (from this one).

Funnily I already got questions like "is this thing only to move stuff around? 
I would be all for it if it had a bit more meat". I added that PPS expecting 
questions like that would be asked. Of course, realistically I do not 
think anything other than repositioning a few projects comes out of it - yet. 
If anybody steps forward saying "I want to do so and so and it seems to fit 
under this umbrella" then I think would be the right time to consider the 
structure or what exactly is going to be done. As it stands now, I don't 
think it is worth overly worrying about this.
