IMHO it's not Tim's problem; the categories are just misnamed. One of these months I'm going to get out of ports-land and get back onto the topic of "PR system". In whatever the next PR system is, there will be a "hardware-specific" category or something similarly named. There will not be any of the following: i386; amd64; www :-) (The latter will be "website".) It's not fair to blame our users for the drawbacks of the tool we give them. mcl
