Hmm.  I guess I missed the discussion on this.

The last I heard, as of last Friday when you sent email about "clickable
categories", we were going with clickable categories.

Thanks for playing along.  In other words, this problem has nothing to
do with what we're talking about.

We could have the problem of conflicting files no matter what we do.

You're arguing that we can't use the word "All" because someone will
be upset when gvim isn't installed.

Ok.  I'm arguing that you can't use the word "Workstation" because
someone will be upset when gvim isn't installed.

There's no difference.
