Yes. Grouped by subsystem would be nice. And maybe we could start with just a few bigger groups, and split them as people step on each others toes or it gets annoying.
Of course, the "group by subsystem" has the problem that because it's to some degree a choice (unlike "group by first letter or first word"), then people end up having different judgments and you have duplication of information that then gets out of sync etc.
