Do you mean it is pointless because categories are pointless, or because
it is not worth the trouble of doing the move? I assume we inherited
the category idea from fbsd ports.
Since we have categories (and assuming we'll keep them), I think that
things should be categorized as correctly as possible (perhaps it's not
the highest priority, but better to have it right than not, eventually).
If it is better to have scipy in sci-libs rather dev-python, then
perhaps other dev-python packages (like you said) should be moved
elsewhere to be consistent. A quick look at the fbsd ports shows that
scipy is in "science" and numpy is in "math" (for example), so that
agrees with your feeling that neither belong in dev-python.
