I agree!

Hi list,

I finally had a chance to look at the new feature from revision 21066:

http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/viewvc.py?view=rev&revision=21066

and see what it looks like if I put, say, all the SS7 dissectors'
preferences in one preference tree called "SS7".  The result was a
little startling: I was able to put *21* dissectors' preferences in that
category:

ALCAP, ANSI BSMAP, ANSI MAP, BSSAP, BSSGP, CAMEL, GSM SMS UD, GSM_MAP,
INAP, ISUP, isup_thin, IUA, M2PA, M2UA, M3UA, MTP2, MTP3, SCCP, SUA,
TALI, TCAP

It looks good to me because I tend to think hierarchically and because I
don't like how long the current list of dissectors with preferences is
(too much scrolling before I find the one I want).

What does anyone else (especially signaling users) think?  Any objections?

Regards,
-Jeff

ps. Yes, I defined SS7 a bit loosely as "anything for transporting SS7
or which is (or was) transported over SS7".  And yes, maybe I missed
some: each time I've gone through the list of preferences I found
another one...
