Yeah, I noticed this as well. It seems that some of them a real issues
with the bundle metadata. P2 is not to blame in this case.

That's the disadvantage of auto-categorization. If we require to list
all bundles manually in the category.xml then we could have some kind of
"guideline" which forces us to review bundle names before we add them to
a category.

Yeah, it's a dialog for end users not for Orbit developers. :)

+1 for ALL. Others is harder because it would have to be maintained
manually. The p2 query language does not define a query for "all IUs not
in any category".

Yes. Absolutely.

What about the following Categories for Helios:
* All Orbit Bundles
* All javax.* Bundles
* All org.apache.* Bundles
This is just a very limited set but leaves room for improvements. :)
