Hi Stef,
This was the decisions that two of us (I mean me and you) took :).
Categories are mapped one-to-one to RPackages. The reason is that this is the simplest path to replace categories in the system.
The second step is to map the current Monticello package to RPackages so that we can load existing Monticello packages.
The third step is to provide saving only of individual RPackages. Thus, Monticello should not save multiple RPackages into one Monticello package, but only make it easy to store each one in a separate package.
Once this is achieved, we can merge an RPackage with a Monticello package, which means that the package that you see in the image is directly storable in a transparent way.
Cheers,
Doru
