As discussed in https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/issues/55974, this is non trivial, because knowledge of categories is spread across five sources. :)
We should probably get most of done, before attempting this. Even once the sources of truth are streamlined, there are some challenges:
- Is "automation" the right category, or is too broad?
- How will category renaming work? We can modify extension yamls and the source-of-truth files, but the "business automation" category is likely to linger in our tooling for a while, unless we put in an explicit alias infrastructure. Quarkiverse extensions like Camunda use it, as well as the de-platformed Drools extensions.
