Ok, maybe I phrased it wrong. Yes, they of course can be usefull, but with the lack of an id and a proper database behind it, all the categorisation will need to be done by hand. If you 10.000 of pictures, that will be one hell of a job, and you can't expect the uploaders to do that either as they might not know/understand the categorisation system. And to be clear, I am not telling what or what not to do, I only explained the reasoning why we made the decision in nl, so you can weight that in your local discussion.
