You are absolutely right, I don't know s**t about packaging.

But what I know is that if you allow developers to put what ever they want in the category section, you end up with current situation.

So my comment was only a suggestion to improve the system. But if only wizards can make comments, put that in the subject of the thread.

I don't know in details how it works, what I know is that if I turn "red pill" mode on, I find a lot more packages available for installation. Stupid user reaction "their must be some criteria in the package". Then back to "blue" mode. Oh, let's try to install this new package! WRRRRONG! Works only in "red" mode. Then why is it listed??

It seems this thread also is "red pill".
