+1

But I warn you the discussion about how to define comps groupings is
going to get messy. Comps  has to be extended into extras...
organizing extras into groupings is going to be a dentist visit sort
of fun.  You might be able to pigeon hole Core into sane, intutive
functionality groups that ui experts will love to expose to Core
users, but what ever group naming scheme works for Core is going to
break down a bit in the larger Extras space.
Do you really want to expose seperate groupings like 
gnome games, java games, kde games
as comps groupings in whatever ui a user sees?
