Can't we keep starred repositories and list separate?

Can't we keep starred repositories as highlighted/pinned one and lists like how we keep folders. It would be much more convenient

As of now, GitHub does not offer a direct way to do this.
But you can pin up to six repositories to the top of your profile

Yes, that's a great idea! Having starred repositories organized into folders or pinned sections would make GitHub much more convenient for users to manage and access their most important repositories.

Having "lists" be essentially "categised stars" is unintuitive. It feels like a feature that's been added in a way to make use of existing code rather than a feature added to solve a problem. I want to star, or not star, repos, and I want lists - that have nothing to do with stars - for repos.

If the 'star' functionality is to be extended then maybe something as simple as adding tags to stars. So you can star something, and qualify that star with "favourite", "useful", "educational", "amazing", "fun" - whatever.

As a newish user I'm interested in using lists, not stars: having starring forced is surplus complexity
