I think I have read that article a long time ago. I just looked at it again. Very lengthy but true. In the middle there is a section when ontologies work well and ... it all applies to Hackage.

When Does Ontological Classification Work Well?

Domain to be Organized

Small corpus 3k libraries is nothing compared to the whole web (referring to the yahoo example), or every book on earth
Formal categories   already exist, just need some improvement
Stable entities Haskell is a mathematical language, and if there is one thing that will never change then it is math
 Restricted entities  access only after personal email
 Clear edges             ?

Participants
Expert catalogers Maybe the best educated programmers in the world
 Authoritative source of judgment   Maybe
 Coordinated users                             It could be better
 Expert users                                        mostly
