To me it seems rather dumb to tie the two hierarchies together, but
well, we have a rule to follow then. Unless someone wants to open the
issue on -devel, I think our case is rather interesting: we have a
document registration system which doesn't fit our needs only because
the hierarchy is too coarse; can we use it relaxing that constraint or
should we develop one for scratch?

I would discuss that on -devel first, mainly for the technical point of
reusing an existing tool instead of inventing a new one. Do you mind to
start the discussion? I'll be happy to participate.
Cheers.
