There are some reasons I'm not trying to push for this:
1) some sections still are meaningful (base comes to my mind)
2) there is no direct debtags 1-1 mapping for sections, so we have no
clear upgrade path for applications that still use sections
3) I'm stuck with review of submitted tags, which means that the
reviewed set of tags that goes in the Packages page is outdated.
There is no current sustainable way to keep it up-to-date, and
debtags cannot go prime time until that happens.
Luckily they are ideas, some made it into the Summer of Code bundle,
some are mostly SMOP, in a way or another we'll have updated tags in
unstable again.
Ciao,
Enrico
