That is a good idea. Then we need to define what we agree on first.

Well you can - at least I did :)
But I had an idea behind and wanted to get at least some structure for 
our YaST pages.
Before that everything was floating around and was not linked anywhere.
Now as the pages are organized we got a navigation bar for free, so you 
can navigate through the levels.
And as authors have to think of where to put his new page they should be 
motivated to link it from the level above and add links (eg. in "See 
also" section) on pages of the same level (if applicable).

I regard this as a major feature to help people find the information 
they need. If pages are lost in the nowhere (only can be found by full 
text search) without links this does not help anybody.
