Replace "decorated" categories with 2 new categories, "printed" and "with stickers".

I think there are so many categories right now that they are very averse to creating
more. I'm doubtful that a suggestion that would add more than a dozen new
categories is going anywhere.

I would rather have more categories with less entries per categorie so for me
the suggestion would work.
Categories are more easily to be found than subcategories/entries or whatever
they are named.

You can achieve much the same thing by searching -sticker in the decorated category.

I think for now learning to use search terms would be easier than adding loads
of new categories.

This idea was tossed around between administrators (including Dan) in 2007/2008.
It was deemed at the time to be an interesting idea with some positives, but
ultimately not preferable.

Thirteen years later, I can't tell that anything's changed.
