Brian, I'd like to only do this once more, so can I ask you to spell out, what packages you'd like moved to these three new sub-categories please. Probably the simplest way to do this is to start from: http://cr.opensolaris.org/~richb/pkg-5196-v3/raw_files/new/src/gui/data/opensolaris.org and give me the list of: package name / new-category for the ones that need to be moved. I'll then adjust the equivalent code in my pkg source workspace, and generate a new webrev and put it out for (hopefully) final review.
