This makes it so that a KCM doesn't really belong to the same category anymore. We also discovered that we have a few KCMs with just a couple of options that would make them move to a new category. That would change the organization again.
  
  
  You're debating me on something I am not suggesting. I am not saying "stop reorganization, do it only just once". I am saying, let's take a piecemeal approach, little by little (which is our only option, really) and let users be eased into a new organization. I hope that's clear. What I am also saying is that it is best to take this reorganization piecemeal approach right now and come to a conclusion with it. One that can last for years. In essence, take the step by step reorg now. However, once we complete that work, we should hold off from reorganizations afterwards.
