doc(standard): make categories optional and add other#241
Conversation
The list of categories have always being a problem, stuck between: * keeping the list short and curated, which excludes legit use cases and annoys authors * making it huge and comprehensive, which turns it into a mess nobody can navigate * maintaining it manually, which is slow, political, and opaque * avoiding local categorizations (probably a good call), but ending up with a list that feels incomplete Make them optional, so if people feel they fit in their usecase they can opt in, otherwise they can ignore them or user `other`. Fix #217.
