Don, there's a committee recommendation about classification, that divides licences among these categories:

• Licenses that are popular and widely used or with strong communities
• Special purpose licenses
• Licenses that are redundant with more popular licenses
• Non-reusable licenses
• Other/Miscellaneous licenses

There's been some ongoing wailing and gnashing of teeth about the draft contents of those lists -- and it's not yet incorporated into the main licence lists, anyway. I get the vibes that there will be some revisions, before that is done.
