Hi Brock,

I'm afraid I don't have much to add to the comments that Shawn already
made.  However, I did have a few additional thoughts.

I wondered if it would make sense to move the code that pretty-prints
these categories out of client, into its own function.  With the code
structured that way, anyone can use the function to output category
information.

Including the categorization scheme seems reasonable, but it makes for
long lines.  Could we add a -v option to pkg info that displays the
schemes.  This could be expanded later to include other useful but
elective information.
