So what are people using to find certain packages available in the repos if you you look for a category?
Discover and GNOME Software which gets their categorisations from AppData, not the nonsense, mislabelled, unstructured, invalid, and unncessary burden on packagers that is RPM Groups. AppData already provides all the tagging and metadata nonsense which Jan seems to be crusading for, and so expecting something beneficial to be somehow accomplished by sticking on the failed concept of "RPM Groups" is downright bizzare to me. If anyone is seriously using RPM Groups under the illusion they're remotely accurate, they'd be better served by reading tea leaves, asking a magic 8-ball, or sticking their head out of the window and asking a passing airborne porcine. RPM Groups has been not used in CentOS/RHEL since version 5. They've been not only deprecated by our peers in Fedora but actively discoraged to be included in their packages for 2 and a half years. Jan's crusade here, and the manner in which he is conducting it, is so blatently infantile that he has successfully managed to motivate me from being on the fence on this topic to now ensuring that I will actively remove the RPM Group from any spec file I touch from this point today.
