Do you think we could have sub directories underneath opt? like /opt/x11-win or /opt/irc etc?
Another one that comes up from time to time Per's main argument here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=crux&m=107592763603892&w=2 There has been some talk about introducing 1:n package-category relationships by making active use of the 'group'/'category' tag in Pkgfiles: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=crux&m=107599052116162&w=2 but I think there was no work done on this. Finally, it's very hard to get the granularity right: too many categories will give the packagers a lot of work when categorizing a package (which often means that it's not done properly), and too few will give you again a superset of what you were looking for. In the end, proper package descriptions and tools to search packages by description are a pretty good alternative to categories (IMHO, of course).
