Adding another -1 to flattening all directories. I think the categories/directories could make more sense than they do today, and that all-packages.nix should be abolished (use builtins.readDir by default and a manual overrides file where necessary), but throwing away all structure because it isn't perfect seems excessive. I personally have found browsing the folders quite informative, even if sometimes it's unclear where a new package belongs.
