The important thing about the `official' module hierarchy is that users have to be able to *find* a module they need. Which means some modules should be in more than one `domain'. That's something the Debian people are just now getting (fully) aware of: If you have 30 packages, a simple one-level hierarchy is fine. But when you have 1500+ packages, it gets complicated. For example, where do I look for `patch'? I'm using it for development, so I look in `devel'. But it's in `util', because it's obviously a utility (which I realized after not finding it in `devel').
