Um, what are you talking about, too many categories?
I am afraid, there is no "fix" in the form of "lets not add any". Every
commits summary message has at least 3x more added packages vs removed ones.
This stuff has to go somewhere and some categories are becoming way overfilled
I'd say. At the same time I do agree that the present flat list of super-sub
categories is not scaling well either (OTOH it is still nicer than some of the
200+ large categories of present). May be it is time to scratch the flat list
of categories and finally go into a full tree mode?
I.e.:
app-* =>
app/accessibility
/admin
etc,
and subdivide where necessary? (e.g. app/admin/eselect/ would be just one such
beneficiary).
Just a thought..
