Yes, and so would be devel and game.  Also, langdevel could end up under
use::devel-lang-*.

I'm not in principle against this big merge, but I want to call the
attention on user interfaces for a moment: multi-level popup menus are
already hard to manipulate with the 2-level facet/tag organization, and
will get unusable if we go 3, 4 or 5 levels with lots of tags.

For this reason I feel like holding this merge, and all merges that
would lead to 3 levels of nesting for tags, until someone brings new
user interface ideas.

And, by all means, please let's do some brainstorming and prototyping
here: it's one of the mostly needed items right now.


Ciao,

Enrico
