I see a problem with the CATEGORY for this piece.
As a "radar dish", its CATEGORY is "Space",
and yet this specific patterned piece is available
*only* in "Town" sets, and not "Space".  :-/

Please LMKWYT.  Thanks.

I think "Space" needs to cease to exist as a category, and all the parts in
it need to be moved to more rational classifications.

I agree. I'd do the same for town and castle and all the rest. (excepting
train of course... all other themes exist as spare parts for train)... Ok,
train too.

Right.  Except that I seriously think Train should stay.  There are many
parts which are fairly Train-specific.  But there are number of current
Train parts that should be moved into other areas.

More seriously, I believe I've argued in the past for a purely functional
categorization system. A more robust keyword usage goes a long way to
letting you recategorize as you see fit, but not all the way.

Right.  But there are more pressing issues, which should be resolved before
we do a mass-reorganization on the parts.  Specifically, I want source code
control (ie, Parts Tracker) and automated parts downloads/updates ready
before doing major surgery on the categories.
