I disagree. You'd be using tags to filter what you show. Probably we'd iwant a new tag like uitoolkit::hildon, but that's not maemo specific, and it's not needed to start using them with the current tagged data. You could show only packages matching a set of tags, a starting point could be for example: role::program && interface::x11 && \ (uitoolkit::hildon || uitoolkit::gtk || uitoolkit::sdl || uitoolkit::xlib) Or something on those lines. Also the user could be allowed to change the tag filtering, even if it was on some advanced mode, hidden menu or whatever. > But, tags are better than sections, and maybe it is easier to diverge > when using tags. I don't think we'd need to diverge, for example I can see the hildon tag accepted upstream, also given that tags represent facts from the software, that makes them quite neutral. > In any case, tags are more powerful and the AM should clearly support > them as well.
