I think that this is an important distinction; and personally I would
expect only the previous ports to go into this category. That is,
putting ports into categories primarily based on the functionality of a
port. For example when looking for a port like firefox-i18n, I'd expect
to find it in the www/ category, rather than an i18n/ subdir. But ports
like gettext or other localization tools could be in the i18n category.
