More out of curiousity than requesting a change:

Why is below technic piece under the category "bricks"?

 
Part No: 25214 Name: Brick, Round Tube 1 x 1 d. 90 degrees Elbow Macaroni - No Stud - Type 2 - Axle Hole
* 		25214 Brick, Round Tube 1 x 1 d. 90 degrees Elbow Macaroni - No Stud - Type 2 - Axle Hole
Parts: Brick, Round {Black}

To me this piece is similar in form and function as

 
Part No: 62462 Name: Technic, Pin Connector Round 2L with Slot (Pin Joiner Round)
* 		62462 Technic, Pin Connector Round 2L with Slot (Pin Joiner Round)
Parts: Technic, Connector {Black}

more so than for instance in the same category and naming as 25214.

 
Part No: 85080 Name: Brick, Round Corner 2 x 2 Macaroni with Stud Notch and Reinforced Underside
* 		85080 Brick, Round Corner 2 x 2 Macaroni with Stud Notch and Reinforced Underside
Parts: Brick, Round {Black}

Probably because it is very similar to
 
Part No: 71075 Name: Brick, Round 1 x 1 x 1 2/3
* 		71075 Brick, Round 1 x 1 x 1 2/3
Parts: Brick, Round
which has always been under "Brick, Round", along with
 
Part No: 71076 Name: Brick, Round 1 x 1 d. 90 degrees Elbow Macaroni - No Stud - Type 1
* 		71076 Brick, Round 1 x 1 d. 90 degrees Elbow Macaroni - No Stud - Type 1

That's interesting! I wasn't aware of this history.

With that in mind I would say, let the history not define current logic in the
catalog, and I would like to request the Technic piece to move to the Technic,
Connector category. Thanks for considering.
