What do you plan here? I think this is more important than creating
new top-level categories. I'd really prefer something like, e. g.,

lang/java
lang/c
lang/misc
games/solitaire
games/multiplayer
games/amusements
games/minesweepers
games/misc
net/www
net/news
net/irc
net/misc
x11/wm
x11/servers
x11/toolkits
x11/misc

over the current collection of directories.

What would be needed apart from major surgery in the repository?
