Proposed change to !CATEGORY - Orion Pobursky - 2026-04-03
What are the thoughts on abandoning the first word convention for !CATEGORY and have every part have an explicit !CATEGORY statement?

Is this because you expect parts to stop putting the category at the beginning their name, or just to make it more obvious what the category is?

The latter.

In my view, this would make sense, as it would allow the parts to be grouped according to their use. It might even be possible to have more than one group.
