Yes, but as long as we are also using the archive sections, we should improve
them.

We will always have software fitting in several section, and we never will solve
that problem as long as we use them. What you propose sounds like a bad
workaround, specially because I can understand “Science and Education” as
application that are both: science and education. Would linguistic apps fit there?
Neither we can have sections for everything but in the case of educative
software I think we have plenty of software falling under this category.
