Unfortunately. A few simple scripts could be made to shorten the required 
amount of manual conversions; at the least, it would be nothing like 
segregating the KDE ebuilds again. If all else fails, I'm certain that we 
could enslave ferringb and assign him to the task.

"NGSCB" is perfectly clear to many Microsoft employees and those with an 
obfuscation shredder-- it may not be so clear to end users, news reporters 
and potential critics. Likewise, having a category named as a single letter, 
for example, might be perfectly clear to the developers and developer 
community members, but it would be obscure to everyone else.
