I agree it should be dynamic. But tags don't help unless the updatemanager GUI uses tags to create the categories. Should I file an updatemanager RFE that says to generate the categories based on tags? How do I tell which tags should result in GUI categories and which tags are for internal purposes or other metadata that's not useful in the side-column of the GUI?
