That is exactly why I suggested a few weeks ago, that you relayout
to have

{top}/{firstalpha}/software
  [eg: {top}/a/amanda/]

instead of

{top}/software

because it would be more scalable over the long term, while still remaining
consistant.



You said at the time, "well, we can always redo later".

Is "later" here now? ;-)
