Let me translate this to colloquial language:
The people, that didn't care a fuzz about grouping packages and even tried to create sneaky precedents to get rid of them, decide to bury the whole topic in the backyard, where those, that care, won't dig it up again.
Thanks Pete, I could not have worded this in a similar polite way.
It's a semi smart way to phase out an uncomfortable discussion (to put it politely).
An external management of package grouping is doomed to die, as the amount of work will surpass it's usefulness.
Well, in fact, if you reread the answers to Ludwig's proposal, you find mostly refusals or warnings to take that route.
In the Pro-Grouping-Tag camp, we tried to find an easy to provide solution, that actually would *add* value to the distribution as a whole, and would set it apart for others *without* *much* *fuzz*.

This decision on the other hand will lead to a less approachable product in the end. It "sells" under a fair value already, because many non mainstream abilities are hard to find without resorting to external resources.
