Any thoughts? As I said on the bug, I don't really think this makes sense. metadata.xml will show either 'electronics' or 'sci-electronics', however you name it. You can use herdstat or many other tools to display things in many different ways related to package maintainers/herds/etc. Naming herds after categories doesn't really make sense when there isn't a 1-to-1 mapping of herds and categories.
