Comment (by ryandesign):

 Other than the GitHub web interface not showing the entire listing, is
 there a reason why it matters how many ports are in a category?

 I already find it inconvenient that ports are in category directories and
 sometimes wish all port directories were in a single directory (with no
 category directories). It would eliminate the inconvenience of having to
 move a port directory to another category directory when wanting to move a
 port to another category (updating the `categories` line would then be all
 you need to do) and it would eliminate the potential for inadvertently
 putting a port directory into the wrong category directory.
