Indeed. I think we could maybe have one category per package (mainly
for sorting things in the Deskbar) but multiple tags, with easy
searching on tags. See the great book "Everything Is Miscellaneous" on
why organizing digital data like things in the real world is silly
(i.e. digital things can be in two or more places at once whereas
things in the real world cannot.)
