I support a Science section that would include software for math,
physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology and other scientific fields.
This would certainly help bring packages like iraf and xephem (which
are astronomy packages) from misc to a more logical section.
By the same token, I would suggest renaming the section Electronics to
Engineering with the hope that software from other fields of engineering
(like a generic CAD program) would make its way into the Engineering
section.
