Anyone knows what was the resolution of this?

Is Development/Libraries/Java OK or not?

Back to reality, it seems to me to be imminently reasonable that Java

I agree.  I think we should allow for Development/Libraries/[LANGUAGE]
because...

- Groups are used to make browsing packages simpler
- People browsing Development/Libraries are programmers
- Programmers are typically looking for language specific libraries

So, my proposal it to let packagers extend Development/Libraries with
a /[LANGUAGE] (Perl, Python, Java, C++, Lisp, etc, but not C, which can
default to Development/Libraries).
