IIRC, we've had the choice between:

  X-Red-Hat-Base : for top-level menus, which we never set

  X-Red-Hat-Extra : for everything else, but fedora.us was not Red Hat

So, fedora.us add-on packages introduced the X-Fedora category to allow
for future desktop menu features like adding/hiding/moving base and/or
add-on package entries (or entire hierarchies) based on special category
values.
