I also like the idea of dividing the directory into categories.
For example I just had a look at
        ftp://ftp.pht.com/linux/turbolinux-1.2/TurboLinux/RPMS/
and there are 603 packages in the same directory. If you know which package you
want this is no problem but if you just know that you want a package to do a
particular task but not its name the division into categories is very useful.
