At the moment, I don't worry about the _presentation_ of the archive's
contents. All I worry about is:
Do we NEED to put a macro into more than one category?
I agree it would have benefits, but I also think it will make the
whole system more complex to maintain and more difficult to get right
for the submitters. Given these disadvantages, I am not convinced it
is worth the effort.

If we decide to place macros into more than one category, I am sure we
can find a way to present them in a sensible way. I worry exclusively
about the added complexity and the benefits we gain from it, and so
far I conclude that I would rather spend the time working on the
_macros_ than on the infrastructure.

I feel your answer didn't really address the question ... _Why_ is it
not a good idea to put all the macros in one directory?
