Maybe. However, this change comes with a lot of modifications that appear to me impossible in practise. Well, 1. it would be tedious to have a transition plan – we cannot break all the manifests overnight. ;-) And 2. this cost does not seem compensated by the readibility it would bring, IMHO, aside “category” is always a can of worms. ;-) Cheers, simon
