In the current list above, BTW, note the (undesirable) duplicity between

Well, IMHO, if you decide to institute these groups using this
prefixing, I'd argue that lulgnet.trains should be renamed to
lugnet.lego.system.trains rather than there being two groups. Ditto for
mindstorms, and for starwars for that matter (which under this naming,
should become lugnet.lego.system.space.starwars). Having two of each
kind of group seems wrong, somehow.

However I'm not sure I support this naming convention. It's unwieldy.
What do the extra prefixes really buy you, after all?

(...) Yup, absolutely! :) (...) I agree. Plus PRIMO and TECHNIC and SCALA and Fabuland and lots of other special-interest areas.
