What makes you think that the comps classifications are less arbitrary ?
Because anyone who sets up a repository can create a classification,
instead of making it a "oh, you've created a new package ... now you
just need to recompile PK".
And isn't one of the original motivations for this thread that
many
packagers are exactly _not_ doing that hard work ?!
Right, so the obvious solution is to make it even harder for anyone to
do anything.
