Right, that makes a lot of sense. But still, it is a rather indirect
way of controlling visibility in the AM. What about packages like
language packs that enhance the system in some subtle way?
It is very important whether or not a package is shown in the AM and I
think we should let a package declare itself visible in a very direct
and dedicated way.
What about a "audience" tag? The default filter rule could be
audience::enduser
or something and we could have others like audience::poweruser,
audience::admin, audience::hacker, etc.
