I've perused the referrers and clicks of the blog, and I've seen that
many categories are indeed used.
My point was that there are some feed consumers who would be interested
in just a part of our posts. Smalltalk Central is one of those;
Squeak.org could be another one. Since every post in the feed is tagged
by its categories, those sites could filter the feed and publish only
the post they're interested in.

So maybe we could proceed this way: consider the proposed "main
categories" as "departments". Each post must belong at least to one of
those departments, and may have as many other categories as it seems
fit. The already-existing categories won't be touched.

	Thoughts?
