More tags for scope::* ?

Hello,

Let's look at the uses of the scope facet:
http://debtags.debian.net/reports/facinfo/scope

I was considering adding a hint in the form "if it has role::program
then it should also have some scope::* tag", but before doing so I was
running a reality check on those packages that at the moment have
role::program but no scope::* tags:

   http://debtags.debian.net/search/bytag?wl=role::program&bl=scope::application,scope::utility
   http://debtags.debian.net/edit/tags/role::program,-scope::application,-scope::utility

That shows (especially the second link that is sorted by popularity)
quite a bit of programs that are neither apps nor utilities:

 - essential system management: login, apt, bsdmainutils, passwd, udev,
   dbus, consolekit, nfs-common, rsyslog, portmap, acpid, ...
 - system services: openssh-server, exim4-daemon-light, ...
 - compilers and interpreters: perl, python2.6, ...

"scope::infrastructure" is a proposal that would come to mind, although
I'm not sure it would really cut it for compilers and interpreters, when
seen as development tools, although in a way they are.

Comments?


Ciao,

Enrico
