Should the "Extra" category be added as another category of accessories?

PunkPink
Currently there are many creators who create accessories that do not correspond to the categories defined in Decentraland, however for their accessories to be approved they must add earrings, tiaras and other elements that they would not want to put but do so so that they can be assigned to a category.
In the following example it is clearly seen how to publish an ax the author is forced to put a tumbnail with some earrings, which only shows a hidden black dot and only in the right ear. The same thing happens with many products in some of these categories.
By adding a category called "Extras" we would expand the creative freedom of creators without them having the need to add extra elements to their main accessory, which are obviously dispensable and a nuisance for the creators themselves.
Should Decentraland introduce a new "Extra" category for avatar customization, covering a wide range of items such as halos of light, belts, wings, swords, cigars and many other items that are currently incorporated in categories such as earring, tiara, top head and others?

PunkPink, thanks for the contribution.
This is something that can definitely happen in the future, but it is likely that it won't have a lot of impact among the whole Decentraland Ecosystem. The latest category added was HandWare in July 2023, and so far it only has 33 collections submitted. On top of that, even though it seems simple, it involves changes in the Marketplace, Builder, and the web and desktop Clients.
Analyzing the impact/effort ratio for this feature, this could be considered as a low-priority feature or a nice to have. This doesn't mean it won't be ever done, but it is not a priority right now.

Nicolas - Product Lead @ Decentraland Foundation: Thank you for your response, just a few hours ago I had asked the Facilitation Squad about this.
If it is too complex to implement, I think it would be more appropriate to modify the rules of the curatorial committee to allow certain objects to be published in compatible categories, such as earrings.
I understand that the impact may seem very low because there is currently hardly any activity on Decentraland, but we will always find ourselves in this scenario as long as we do not attract more users, And we will not be able to attract them if these small deficiencies are not resolved.
If someone from the Foundation could contact me, I would be willing to make a more defined proposal in the DAO to avoid doing unnecessarily complex work when perhaps it can be solved in a more simplified way.
I have several proposals to make this possible in very simple ways, but it will be very slow to discuss it here.

PunkPink: The Curators are usually flexible in these cases, you can see many examples in the Marketplace. I'm happy to discuss in discord. Please share your handle so I can contact you there :)
