In fact. I said about making order, but I mean actually changing the

I understand. I like package pools and I think we could work on it (after
potato release) and I hope we can give users a better system to organize

It's almost impossibile to create on orthogonal classification. We would
always have problem and packages located in a strange place. So we can go
behind this system. :)
