It is good to have suggestion, but then all decision is by the slackbuild admin.

For the use case, I occasionally browser through the categories not
looking for a particular
package but to discover what packages are available for Slackware and sometimes
found some packages that I would want to try on. It would be nice if
the categories
 are more accurate.
