I disagree. When searching for a software to do a given job and when I have
no idea of which software can do it, I begin to look for the ebuild descrip=
tions
in the portage tree. It goes faster as anything else with mc. And I will ne=
ver
search a genealogy program in theology, so I will just miss it if it is in
theology.

That said, I agree at it is not a big deal in term of herd placement from a
developer point of vue, but it is one, as I already said, in term of
consistency and meanings. English is not my first language, and if the
portage tree don't have a good consistency regarding to the meaning of the =
used
terms, I vote to replace those terms by numbers. So it will be no consisten=
cy
problem because it will be no consistency at all.=20

I am joking, the name of the herds are fine. And I prefer to have such a
naming policy as something as a/aa/* as on sourceforge.

Ciao,
Dominique
