I'm not quite convinced by this reasoning.  Categories do come and go with
times when underlying technologies change or die out, but filesystems had
been in use and known for ages, yet we had never needed a special (scarcely
populated) category for those things.  But if you've done your research and
that's the only way, let it be I guess. :-/

This is wrong, whitespace-wise (spaces used instead of tabs).
