Re: [PROPOSAL] moving the menu hierarchy into debian policy



Sorry if this seems like duplicated info; I just want to keep the bug
report up-to-date.  Cc'd to -policy only as a courtesy.

I proposed an amendment to JoeyH's proposal as follows:

           Tetris-like   - games involving falling blocks
           Toys          - amusements, eye-candy, etc.
+        Help            - programs that provide user documentation
         Screen          - programs that affect the whole screen
           Lock          - programs to lock the screen

The proposal was seconded by JoeyH himself and by Karl M. Hegbloom.
JoeyH said:  "I'm also willing to withdraw my own, or make this
proposal supercede it or whatever - Chris's arguments are valid."

Wichert's objections to the entire proposal still stand.  I'm looking
into a further amendment which may help address Wichert's concerns.
Ultimately, I think it's best to keep the heirarchy flexible and open
to future suggestions and requirements.
