Thanks!  I just committed a strongish review after a reread I did on a
printout: I hope I didn't mess it up too much.

Right: fixed.

Have a look at it now: I merged the general introduction with the more
practical one, and expanded things a bit.

Right!

Ideally yes, but last time I look at carefully-tagged packages, I found
that they were packages in which someone tried adding like 50 random
tags... so I guess we should probably leave the "carefully-tagged" tag
aside until we can do stuff like only registered users can assign it.

Oh, yes, please!  That'd be really, really nice!

Thanks for the review.  Please send me the new packagesearch screenshot
ASAP, as submission is by tomorrow evening :)
