Francisco,

Nobody knows. Honestly. Some people may have opinions. Even strong opinions.
Perhaps they will help you.

We can start from the easier part: what makes a good class, in your opinion?
Should they be uniform? or compact? or connected? or distinct? These
criteria are contradictory and you must make your pick.

Reading a good book may help.

Cheers, Jari Oksanen
