Absolutely true re evolution. That's why it would have to probably be crate keywords rather than categories, I'm thinking.

This whole space about encoding library non-technical aspects like intent and status seems like it has a lot of possibilities. I wonder if there's prior art in other language ecosystems?

Perl has the Acme namespace for expressly silly projects, that’s the first thing that comes to mind…

Maybe defining the interesting axes (for each, one for whether it is considered a goal, the other for whether it has in fact prioritized that goal in practice; not saying whether it succeeded in others' eyes), and for each axis give a number 0-10 (or whatever) rating it, in the author's view. Then maybe users of the library can give similar ratings as they compare it with others.

Or not.

I replied just below, to another comment, with an idea. Not fleshed out well, but oh well.
