Dave makes a very good point. and it was mentioned before that having multiple 
categories that a given package can fall into can be very helpful.

case in point. i have a library that is primarily a database web-application 
framework, but it can be used just for the database aspects and not the web 
parts. if it gets placed under WWW then that will easily go overlooked.

and i think this is a good starting point for an improved RAA: Implement 
multiple categories.
