It would be not be good to see a proliferation of top-level categories
whose natural spots are plaintly lower in the tree. As we know from
Usenet, there is a tendency for specialties to demand (and sometimes
too easily grab) top-level recognition. This mocks the organizational
concept of hierarchy, which is a useful one and should be defended.
