Neil, if you provide me with a short description (like we have for the
other categories, you can see these using gnatsweb, for example) and an

I don't have any strong opinion here, but this seems like more invasive
(and disputed, when it comes to the actual details) change, though if
there is consensus, I don't see problems adding further categories.
