I imagine the Classifiers are being injected by JS. I know from previous 
comments of Steven's that he's not a fan of this particular approach to 
web page construction.

But whether I'm right or not, commenting snarkily about the design of 
pypi.org on *this* list doesn't seem particularly useful. Feel free to 
take it up on any of the forums where the work is actually being done by 
the people who are actually doing it, and who have been doing so for 
quite a while now.

Either they'll take note of your concerns and act, or they'll decline to 
agree with your point of view. In either case, talking about it here 
seems fruitless.
