Fedora.us had this to say (From google cache): http://tinyurl.com/yjxh6l ''' All Categories must be from the standard set (see below), with the exception that the "Application" category should be included where appropriate (ie. for everything that is supposed to be shown in the menus) for backwards compatibility even though it is not listed as a standard category. Additionally, all Fedora packages must contain the "X-Fedora" category. For packages that exist in Red Hat Linux, the categories must be the same as Red Hat's (+ X-Fedora). For packages that are considered essential for end users, the "X-Red-Hat-Base" Category must be added because that's currently the only way to get them listed in the top level menus instead of "Extras" on RH8 or "More foo..." on RH9.
