Yes! That is what I was trying to get at in the other thread [1], but not
explaining very well. The thing is that this should be *the default view* of
the system for new users.

The left browser pane could have at least three views of the system:
- Packages
  - What we have now
  - Least generally important (really only matters for modularity when
you're adding code)
- Projects
  - What's been proposed because many packages could be collected under one
project node
  - Better than the above, but still falls prey to the problems being
mentioned (i.e. WTH is a Seashell/Coral/SandCastle/FishingPole - what are
they *for*)
- Purpose/Category/Tag
  - This was the function of the original System categories and what I think
Esteban is proposing. Of course in the browser and other tools the arrows
would flow differently: 'Browser' -> #(Calypso Nautilus) -> some more info
