Runtimes for languages are hardly just for developers, ergo they belong in system/ while pkgs specifically for developers belong in developer/. Of course, such a purist view means that one has to look in two places in the pkg name hierarchy for closely related pkgs. Not good. But then again, I don't think this problem is avoidable except by having aliases. As for the system/library vs. library/ issue... I agree: what is the distinction between the two? If there is none, then why do we need both?
