No. I have not offered any opinion whether differing between
"software" and "non-software" in Debian is a sensible course of action
at all.

I was merely pointing out the fact that instead of splitting in

documentation | greyzone | software

the separation in

documentation | rest

is easier (just two classes) and might be good enough.
