While as much as we love and depend on these programs. Moving them wont
really help anything other than making the tree slightly easier to
navigate by end users. This slight gain of category navigation comes at
a price in that it invalidates existing packages/GRP sets and causes
breakage for users that utilized overlays. One might think is that not
what fixpackages is supposed to fix. But sadly the existing fixpackages
is flawed in design which renders it pretty much usable to most.

I love these ebuilds but I hope you do not add net-telephony to the 
tree.
