But what does a classification with every single package gain you?
(Including libraries?) What's the usage case?
Right now, we use comps as:
- An input to a graphical package selector
Adding everything here is likely to make large portions of the UI
unusable.
- An input to tree composition tools
Adding everything here, as long as it's all 'optional', is likely
to have less effect.
