actually, they are. -multimedia, -network, -hackers, -mobile, -stable et
cetera et cetera....

for example, -multimedia is a place where you could ask a question about
problems with your sound card - 
whether it is a problem with installation or question like "i'd like to
stream audio from my tvcard to network - which tools to use?" - on the other
hand, it's a place to ask for a support stage for a specific device, say,
mpeg2-grabber card.

so, questions are broken down to several topics, -questions is a place for
General questions, or for those that you didn't find an approppriate place
elsewhere..
