I think my point is more basic than this: the three top levels
inherently overlap because of their nature - some common tasks involve
configuring your system. I think we should search for a more mutually
exclusive structure. When I have a bit more time I'll make some
suggestions on the relevant wiki page. I don't think we have to limit
things to 3 top level categories, we can have more.
