Please let me make it clear - I am not stopping anyone submitting
or committing a package that is related to Korean or any other
group or language.  Quite the contrary, I welcome them.

However, I believe that they should be placed in the appropriate
category for the package when they are committed, and that, if
there isn't one, then they should be placed in misc.

Over time, when there are enough packages in pkgsrc to warrant a
separate category, then one will be created.
