The three biggest issues here are some groups like System, Productivity, Base etc will have so many items they would basically be useless, I think Jan even suggested dropping the top level category for these reasons. Secondly because the current groups have so many issues its likely that you may not find all the calculators in the "Math" category for example, where as currently the desktop files are logically organized etc. Thirdly having groups for libraries, -lang packages and -devel packages means that users end up searching through hundreds of packages that aren't what they are looking for and should really only be installed by dependencies.
I think we're at the point where we should avoid mixing the 3 aspects: a) What to store? I.e., what tags values should we have? Again, I think all of us said and repeated and repeated again that the current values are not ideal. How could they - considering that they have been a hierarchy instead of independent tags? b) Where to store? As far as I can see, there are 2 suggestions: RPM's Group tag (keep it, but change from hierarchy to tag values), or desktop files. To my knowledge, only programs which have a GUI or would be run otherwise by clicking on something have a desktop files, right? So what about all the utilities for the command line (e.g. 'pv'), or packages which augment other tools ('geany-plugins')? c) How to use it from a management tool? I think this question has been discussed very sparsely ... which I find strange because this is the only thing what matters for the user.
