The idea of splitting sections is good, but not all sections need splitting
up. Display came about because i had some framebuffer/console/graphic/
windowing spells that didn't fit in any other section. And some existing
spells had been misplaced (not lost :) ).
The problem with x11-utils would be that in theory only xfree86
+{-libs,-devel} would be left in the x11 section.
But the question needs to be asked what prioritises a spells placement ?
is xdiskusage a disk utility for disk section that relies on xfree86 or a
x11-util ? I think the spells job should define it's placement not its
interface.
As long as the split is well defined and logical then I am all for it.
