I usually try to put packages together, thinking that they will be
easier to find. There are so many packages that I'm sure there are
many mistakes.
If you have any suggestions for movements or even new sections, I'd be
happy to hear them. Moving packages from section to section is very
easy; [1] I just edit the override file, and a script moves them.

planing on finishing that one tonight.
