Note that it's not just KRecipes: if gourmet _does_ belong into "Other", then
so do several other packages. Probably also a few packages from Core (which
AFAIK doesn't use "Other" at all currently).
Moreover, the kdetoys package which has newly been added also ends up in
"Other" because the Fedora menus have no "Toys" category (I checked the files
and it's just not there, so unless I'm missing something it's not a local
configuration issue). So:
* either "Other" is accepted as a category to use, which also means it should
be used consistently (i.e. by a lot more than just gourmet and kdetoys)
* or a "Toys" category should be added to redhat-menus
* or kdetoys needs to add some other category/ies ("Accessories" appears to be
the catch-all in current Fedora use).
I think menu consistency is an important issue which needs input from both Core
and Extras maintainers.
