[Nix-dev] haskell structure for all of nixpkgs

[Eric Merritt]

I am not arguing against that kind of categorization at all. Its just that it only works
where you have a directory structure. The Haskell approach does not, so it wont work there.
Its a problem with the Haskell approach.

Ah I see, Haskell grepping is quite useless.

Categorization using hierarchy generally is a good idea and makes
sense for large amounts of information. This naturally ties in with a
folder hierarchy. I personally find it refreshing information is
stored in the directory structure aka the hierarchy. It also allows
making little stateless expressions that can be copied and pasted
around, they are intelligent enough to look at the folder structure
and derive meaning. This helps when refactoring the hierarchy.
