+1 If you're not sure what something comes under it's easy enough to look it up, and in most cases presets know about it anyway. Personally I think these categorizations have no value anyway, and if I were designing it from scratch, I'd have just a type for each item and properties which are the tags. But I'm not, and like the many proposals that surface on this list to "rearrange everything", it may be a bit neater but it is too much of an upheaval for the minimal gain. It's not as if these are any more than internal identifiers.
