Hi,
I see mostly two cases when it could happen:
- At home, on a computer shared by the family.
- In shared computers of a multidisciplinary faculty.
For the first case, I proposed in another discussion of this bug to
separate Science and Education.
For the second, well, I have the feeling that it is unavoidable. If the
packages are left within the Science subsection, they outnumber and
dillute the others anyway (my screen is not big enough for displaying
the Science menu when I have those packages installed), which will even
annoy the other users more.
One solution could be to separate them in a case-by-case basis in
categories such as "Sequence Analysis" and "Database querying". Anyway,
the opinion of the package maintainer is very important. Maybe I should
file a wishlist bug with a tentative categorisation?
