This is true but I was thinking that mapping package to categories was
a cheap way to avoid to have yet another concept. It works well in VW.
We use packages as categories and vice-versa so like that we avoid to
have yet
another pane/view/ because categories are dummy packages in fact. Also
mapping categories to package as the advantage that it can be nearly
transparent to the newcomers.
