I would have expected app-text, the current home of the other TeX
interpreters, to be more appropriate than dev-tex. Then again, with 79
new ebuilds, it might be prudent to open another category. If you did
that, though, I'd suggest putting texlive and the other TeX interpreters
in the same category. Perhaps app-tex would be good. Would that cause
much confusion, being one letter off from an existing category?

On the other hand (or is this back on the first hand?), 79 new packages
wouldn't be much of a splash in the 231 existing packages of app-text.
