Well, at least as much as the smallest non-virtual
category which is 16. Then, I am not considering the language
categories because they have a relevance of their own, i.e., it
does not matter the number.
However, we should consider, how complex/populated we want
${PORTSDIR} to become.
We should revisit the multi-level hierarchical directories
idea.
