Well, if we in the Python community have one fault, it's that
we're willing to wait forever for an optimal solution, rather than
making a quick not-so-optimal solution that can be readily improved.
(Witness the locator-SIG's long history of successive partial attempts
that subsequently get abandoned.) So I'm perfectly happy to continue
entering things into the PyModules faqwiz setup, and if/when when the
Principia-based system becomes available, we can fairly easily import
the data manually or with a hand-hacked conversion script.

In the meantime, we can try to add any sections that are
required, and otherwise experiment with the classification scheme.
