The flood of variations of one theme "FireCat" now has made the theme area a
mess.  A few new categories are needed, including:

Animal (for FireCat)
Nature (wooden or natrual/organic themes)
Retro (for themes ported from Netscape 4.x and Mozilla Classic)
Tiny (for screen real-estate saving themes)

Good suggestions.  Next time you update a theme, mention that you want the
category updated too, please.

This bug was a dupe of Bug 256388, which propose more category changes to both
the extensions and themes areas of the site. 

Category changes require discussion, and should *not* be done w/o approval.

1) You wouldn't have included me in the discussion
2) These were good ideas
3) The other bug is obviously open, whereas this one is now done.  How's that
for a timely response?

Good ideas, yes.. but probably not the only ones that could've been thought of,
had a discussion, which is what the other bug is open for, been had.

Timely in this case, bypassed the discussion of the new categories. Considering
update at this point is full of bad/difficult to understand categories from the
extension room/database project. Discussing ones that are more user-friendly and
much more likely to be not confusing is important. No new categories should've
been added till the discussion in Bug 256388 was completed.

Deciding to take it upon yourself to add them, because you feel you are not
being included in a public discussion in the other bug, where you haven't
commented, isn't a good enough reason to overrule that discussion entirely and
add categories because you feel they were good enough.

Aparently there is a communications issue that needs to be cleared up
immedately.  Open up a new bug on that one, and leave this one to the problem at
hand.  I just want to get to themes starting with "P" without having to herd cats!

This bug is "fixed" (by some definition of the word fixed), the communications
issue doesn't need a bug, it needs firm policies established. :-)
