Thank you, Alexey. I agree, useless is a bit of a misfit. To some extent text, image, audio, video, and geolocation are are too. Those are all special groups with special considerations.

I would put text into count data, but you’re right that it does have a lot of it’s own unique issues.

Perhaps the value in creating two to five more complex categories to capture those groups listed above outweighs a larger number of categories.

This bears revisiting. Thanks again.
