I think I agree. The whole taxonomy approach, has, in other contexts
often provided endless fodder for organizational weinering, with long
arguments debating what, in the end, for some tasks trying to use a
formal taxonomy, are irrelevant distinctions.
If there's something for us to gain by having a "strict taxonomy",
then that's fine, but if not, then I suspect maybe we're better off
with the less abstract approach you're suggesting.
i.e. (use-modules (goops ...))
seems clear and quite acceptable to me ATM.
