Internals: Release Checklist

Before every release:

• uncategorized packages should get a keyword:

i23 : select(separate_" " version#"packages", p -> (readPackage p)#Keywords === {"Uncategorized"})

o23 = {SpecialFanoFourfolds, GKMVarieties}

• check existing keywords for sensibility and near duplicates

i11 : stack sort unique flatten apply(separate_" " version#"packages", p -> (readPackage p)#Keywords)
