This is not a feature request but rather a general analyzis of the situtation that should be usefull in future discussions about changing the information categorisation in PM. First I would like to note that categorisation is only usefull when there is too much information to read. Otherwise you don't need to choose and can read just all the available information - that's quite obvious. Using categories you can pick only the information that would be usefull for you. So the goal is to have such a granulity of the categorisation that after choosing the category you can read everything that is inside.

There are two modes of reading the content of PM:

• Browsing the new posts
• Searching for information relating to a particular subject

In the first case the most important is categorisation by quality/importance of the post. In the second case much more important is that the information is really something relevant. Actually those two cases are one in disguise - the first has a broad topic - Perl in generall, and since the topic is broad you have an abundance of available information in it - you have to filter it by quality, the second has a narrow topic so you can read anything inside that category and you don't need to subdivide it.

Actually "Browsing new posts" is a bit more complicated - it should be "Browsing posts", but that would lead to such a big category that would make us insane, so we add the category "new". This step is a bit arbitrary - it leaves a whole lot of high quality nodes outside.

What are the implications? I leave this as an open question.
