In case anyone was wondering, I wanted to check how many packages 
typically showed up in a category. Here's a histogram of the 
distribution. The number of packages are in column 1, and the number of 
categories having that many packages are in column 2 (bin size 10, 
number shown ±5).

To summarize, half the categories have 10-50 packages, then there are a 
number of huge ones. If you can get at least 15 packages, it's a 
reasonable starting point for a new category.
