1. This is orthogonal to main vs. community, i.e. it has totally =
different meaning.
2. I know this layout very well from Gentoo. It looked like a good thing =
at the beginning, but eventually I found out that it=E2=80=99s really =
not. There=E2=80=99s no clear (unambiguous) exclusive relation between =
packages and limited set of categories, it=E2=80=99s very common that =
one package may fit into multiple categories or none.
