I like the idea of better categorization, but doing that thematically is
very difficult. Each person will have a different "view" of how themes
should be organized. Its very subjective. At least the
"fe,be,plugin,etc" division is strictly technical, while not that useful.

We could try to categorize the "top 100" extensions in a category matrix
with a maximum of 10 categories. Maybe we can get some consensus on that.

Cheers,
