I know. I wrote that thingy. ;-)

That's the novice user's approach to patterns. And for novice users, this 
makes perfect sense.

But I have yet to come across the first non-novice user who doesn't klick on 
the "Details..." button to see all the gory innards. And for them there is 
the patterns filter view with packages listed. We didn't have that right from 
the start when we began supporting patterns, and it proved to be very 
annoying to have to switch back and forth between the pattern selector and 
the detailed package selector.
