Just to emphasize and clarify: Please beware that using a string
category is not compatible with v6.3 and earlier.

Although `raco pkg install` (or `raco setup`) will merely issue a
warning about a `scribblings` entry that it doesn't recognize, not
recognizing the entry means that the documentation will not get
installed for someone using v6.3.

The pkg-build service will start to support categories string with the
v6.4 release. Unfortunately, the compatibility issues with v6.3 and
earlier will remain.

So, if you'd like to use the new category string for your
documentation, consider registering an alternative package source for
v6.3 and earlier releases, or consider delaying the change until
compatibility with v6.3 and earlier (as least as far as documentation
goes) is no longer a concern.
