Looking at the outcome -- I'm not sure we're achieving sufficient
categorization here. It's a hard problem to group these things.
What ends up under Networking devices and Miscellaneous seems
pretty random. Bunch of the entries under there should be in protocols
or core. And at the end of the day if we don't have a very intuitive
categorization the reader has to search anyway. So no point..
