Your assessment is correct, the category IUs do not find their way into the 
profile.
You can try to install a category IU but this may cause all the categorized 
entries to be installed. This would happen if the requirements from the 
category to the categorized element was "greedy". You can try changing the 
category requirements to be non greedy but I'm not sure if this would address 
the issue.

Finally even if the categories are installed in the profile, they will most 
likely not show up in the p2 UI.

Subject: [p2-dev] Can we have p2 category classifications in installed features

Hi Devs,

We use P2 Category publisher tool to categorize our features in p2-repo. But 
when we install the features, the categorization is not viewed in the list of 
installed features because category type IUs don't get installed at 
provisioning phase. Can we install category type features just as feature.group 
type IUs? Can we maintain the categorization of features in our installed 
features just like in p2-repo?
Appreciate your view on this.

Thanks,
Dileepa
