I'm just a humble packaging minion. Can you (or somebody else who
understands all of this), spell out exactly what you'd liked changed here?
Otherwise we are going to spend a lot more time just shuffling the
classifications around, each time a new person with individual preferences,
looks at the existing set of classifications.

I fully understand that the current list  of categories / sub-categories
might not be perfect. If new ones should be added, then you need to
let Frank know. I've added him to the cc: list.

Thanks.
