I disagree and I have given what I believe is a reasonable justification, but that's about as much as I can do -- I can't force it onto you. As I say my concern is about the arbitrary assignment and not things being called "legacy" or "best-ever", "pre-y2k", or whatever. And splitting a bunch of pieces of software that are loosely related to one another into two bunches isn't going to reduce clutter, but to spread it instead -- now you'll have clutter in two places rather than just one, so I think the change is just missing the point. Again, as the maintainer it's your right to disagree. Thank you for the time you've taken to consider my comments nonetheless.
