I don't see the point for splitting it. The problem I have (for example
still with net and net-mgmt) is, I know what application I want to
install. Problems with such a dividing is.. where the hell is my port in.
I really have to start searching then where I for example found mod_php.
Is it in www-servers-modules, is it in www-devel-php, or... hm, is it in
devel or in lang?
You see what I mean? Now "It has sth. to do with www, so it should be in
www" -> "cd /usr/ports/www/mod_p<tab>" -> "ah there it is"
Having many of subcategories would result in using heavaly make search or
cd /usr/ports/*/mod_php4 which can take some time. and could fail of 1+
match.
Virtual categories are fine imho. But please no pysical ones. What is the
difference of having 700 directories in one dir or 3000?
