I am not sure. With 4000 packages, they just don't scale anymore.
And it is hard to pick good sections that don't overlap and cover all
packages. Have you ever thought about the sections we use? What is "misc"?
What is "utils"? Is rplay in net or in sound? And why isn't it in the
other? Do you think net is a superset of web and comm? Where do you put your
documentation packages? Some are in the same package as the software, some
in doc.
I use to do ls */package* when fetching files per ftp, because I often guess
wrong.

However you do it, don't argue about it. Just pick some and let it evolve.
