I think the whole categorization is seriously flawed.

First we have the top-level categories:

- Release Notes
- Reference Manuals
- White Papers & Presentations
- FAQ
- Firebird Books
- Drivers Documentation
- Third-Party Docs and Articles

each corresponding to a separate webpage.

Then within those categories (i.e. on most of those webpages) we have
further subdivisions. For the page "Reference Manuals", they are:

- Current Versions
- Firebird Command Line Tools
- Various User Manuals
- Reference Material (hmmmm? I thought the whole page was Reference Manuals)
- Firebird Licenses

and a couple more.

Given the fact that the bulk of our docs is on the "Reference Manuals"
page, even if they aren't reference manuals, I think that the Firebird
File and Metadata Security document is reasonably well placed under
"Various User Manuals".

Now, this isn't a pressing matter, but I do think that we should have
the Doc index back on a single page again (except maybe for a few docs/
categories that are heavily "niche" and/or outdated and/or third-party),
with categories that make sense, and without separate lines for each
language version, because that's eating up huge amounts of vertical
space.
