I agree, sub-communities when you have tags are useless, especially because reputation is per site. You can follow CouchDB and PHP, JavaScript, simply adding php, couchdb and javascript tags to your favorites. Having separate communities makes sense, but arguments not. I mean, you can't mixup groceries with programming but I find pointless having android as a separate site, at least on StackOverflow where a programmer can be interested in both Android and CouchDB and he wants earn reputation answering questions related to different arguments.
