I see a real disconnect between a policy like the above, the current 
names, and the current usage.

Take a look at the following two categories:
    <id>gnome-software-development</id>
    <name>GNOME Software Development</name>
    <description>Install these packages in order to develop GTK+ and 
GNOME graphical applications.</description>

    <id>xfce-software-development</id>
    <name>XFCE Software Development</name>
    <description>Install these packages in order to develop GTK+ and 
XFCE graphical applications.</description>

In the former, there are packages such as gazpacho, gtkmm24-devel and 
anjuta, et. al. In the latter there are gtk2-devel, glade2, glib2-devel, 
et. al.

I think there will need to be one of two changes:
     1) Allow gtk2-devel to be in both GNOME and XFCE development categories
     2) Create a GTK+ and language bindings development category
