I tend to agree with your assessment. It 
seems folly, to me, to splinter more than 
we have to at what is an early stage for 
this life after Slashdot.If this is a 
more widely held view then it would allow 
us to take our time and to petition 
whomever such things are best directed 
towards (perhaps those who can offer 
direction on this might post?) for 
appropriate new categories.

 It isn't something to hurry over but it 
would be interesting to see proposals for 
a suitable new category tree structure.
