 As you all might have noticed I have packed a lot of php and other web

 Couldn't  we  have  something  else   like   Networking/WWW/Servers,
 Networking/WWW/Mail, etc. ?

 Networking/WWW is too generic for me...

I like this one:

  http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/

With a few tweaks.

Yes but it wasn't a joke. Any attempt at categorizing software will fail
since lots of packages fall into two or more  categories.  Like  ``net''
seems nice but nearly anything falls into that category.

So better make a simple one that doesn't pretend to be precise.

I really do understand the problem, but doing cat 
/usr/share/doc/rpm-4.0.4/GROUPS reveals a whole bunch of useless groups as I 
see it. In my sphere I have only Monitoring, Networking/Other,  
Networking/WWW and System/Servers to play with... I ended up using 
System/Servers on most of my packages...
