Currently (in 3.3alpha where modules are introduced) class categories
are replaced with modules. There has been discussion about that, but
personally I think one way of grouping classes is enough (modules).
As a sidenote - the modules have been introduced in 3.3alpha but there
are no tools yet in the image. But two tools have seen the light, one of
them is:

The other was recently announced (an enhanced browser) on the list.
