First of all, because this has already been done in openSuSE (a separete repo
for texlive, for new KDE/gnome, for multimedia, etc...) -- not cool inho.

Second, because compilers are needed for core system tasks, browsers are
general purpose software, and so on. This is what [core/extra] are about.

The point here is to separate apps not by purpose but overall quality. While
you can argue all day long about creating (or not) a repo for security apps,
games definitely fall into a [poor software] category which you can name
[games], [communitty-extra] or whatever.
