Yes, but I think introducing an artificial "developer-app" section is
confusing, since there is no such release. I think the only artificial
section we should have is "extras", because we need a section that
covers everything that is not part of any release. All the other
sections should match actual releases.

I also think we should distinguish between the need for "categorization"
and simply "information" here. Do we need to put developer applications,
text editors, email clients, file managers, etc. all on different status
pages? Probably not. Could we perhaps still display some very brief
information about what type of application every module is on the status
pages? Perhaps.
