The problem with that is:
- The 'category' columns are made artifically wide to fit the text
'ZZZRemovedPackages' and '_PostInstallLast' which are wider than any
actual category names.
- In all the views except the category one, the dummy packages are
intermixed with real packages.
I have a version that I've been testing that removes these two
categories from view, and it really does make things a lot less
cluttered.
