This actually ties into the recent package.el discussions. Ideally all
these directories would not matter to the user, who would just install a
package from a category. So perhaps the taxonomy work should not aim to
reorganize the directory structure (though that could happen too) but to
create a category structure useful to the end user. All the reference
tools within Emacs can then use this structure as well.
In this light, creating one category per package is not as onerous as
creating one directory per package, so I think we can have more useful
and varied categories.
I also propose that we treat categorizing packages and creating a useful
package taxonomy as a process, like code review and bug fixes. It
should be done both as a periodic review and every time new packages are
introduced.
