I'd tend to agree, tho I don't think it matters that much for keywords.
While I'm here, keywords are good when you need to show a list of
"topics" to structure the set of packages, but we probably also need
a way to "search". Problem is that we don't have a search engine in
Elisp, so we'd have to rely on an external tool for that.
