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?
