Eh, no. :) It is decidedly not simpler. The map contains not only
packages. It contains all the accounts too. So are we going to have them
duplicated in multiple maps? etcetc

Maybe they do, but I stand very, very firm behind the fact that ONE map
is much simpler for us.
In fact - I claim that the perceived problem is in 95% due to poor UIs,
which of course is my fault. :)
The two biggest culprits are:
1. The registration UI for releases. Namely how to select the proper
categories. Not easy today.
2. The loader filtering possibilities. Currently it can't filter based
on categories.
The latter I intend to fix in next release of the loader and the former
I will also fix... in some future release. :)
