Yes. Grouped by subsystem would be nice. And maybe we could start with
just a few bigger groups, and split them as people step on each others
toes or it gets annoying.

Of course, the "group by subsystem" has the problem that because it's
to some degree a choice (unlike "group by first letter or first
word"), then people end up having different judgments and you have
duplication of information that then gets out of  sync etc.
