@ Andrew: No offense taken. We currently have a good starting point
but you are right, we need to ruminate and maybe iterate a bit on this
before putting in more work actually categorizing things. In any case,
thank you for making the changes.

Yes, the Development category could become useful this way, and as you
say, advanced users and developers likely won't use category filtering
anyway.

Sounds good to me.
Another thing we discussed briefly on IRC a couple of weeks ago was
what to do with fonts. I believe we ended up agreeing to use the
Graphics category for the time being but the possibility of creating a
separate Fonts category was also mentioned. The reason for having a
Fonts category would be to prevent the Graphics category from becoming
cluttered with potentially hundreds of fonts. Thoughts?
