Sure, I thought it won't be that easy :) 

I've finished deleting comments and now I'm thinking about where to put the 
code for the form for changing the package category and I got an idea, that 
the best solution would be to replace the link with the current category name 
by a combobox with list of categories and the text "(change category)" by a 
button with the same text that would submit the new category directly. This 
would also allow me to remove the pkgedit.php script entirely.

What do you think about? I don't want to make such a big change in layout 
without permission :)

Thanks

Dan
