Okay, let me take a shot at this. The category I'm least sure about is "system-level." It feels right, but I can't justify it. This is an attempt to fit everything into a single category, unlike Boost's current list.
With a specific rational in mind, or just because it seemed doable?
Yeah, it seemed doable without really shortchanging any libraries.
Personally, I agreed with Beman at the time and still do (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/54545/):
Incidentally, there is no law that says a library couldn't appear in more than one category. Remember that the objective isn't the categories themselves, but to help users locate libraries which might meet their need.
I agree, but as it turns out, with the right categories I don't think the cross-listing is helpful overall. I actually think it makes things a little more confusing. Too much information. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
