it's not the problem I was addressing.

Packages have content, two packages of similar names can 
have very different coding.

patterns are more like categories in the wiki, only 
informational. If one looks for a text editor, he should not 
have to look at "writers" "editors" text processors", but 
only at one of them. several nearby words can exist, but 
hopefully with a clear difference in the meaning (editor 
versus word processor or publisher)
