Euh... that would defeat the purpose of it.

The primary categories are functional descriptions (like astrology,
archivers, emulators etc) of the ports.

Linux is an additional category, just like ipv6 is. But there is
no ipv6 directory neither, because ipv6 doesn't describe the primary
function of the port.
