It doesn't necessarily help keyword-based organization, but it could
be useful.
The idea that hit me today was that, more than *-devel, or apps, or
any other groups, the groups that need to be maintained in as automated
a fashion as possible are the langsupport groups. (dictionaries, fonts,
OO.o/KDE langpacks.)
