Did we ever come to a consensus on whether command-line packages
should be in user/, and - if so - what suffix?

I've uploaded vim to diablo-extras-builder (building now) - but
there's no GUI. Probably for something like that it should try opening
a terminal running vim, I suppose.

But what about other stuff, like bsdgames? Leave out of user so
"normal" users don't get confused?

TBH, I think this is symptomatic of design flaws in App Manager: I
almost always use "all" - which gives a lot of noise, but at least it
means I can see what packages are available.

Cheers,

Andrew
