The Dewey system is far more logical and better laid out than the library of congress system, think of the Metric system compared to the Imperial!!
I have given many good reasons why having the Dewey or LCCN in Calibre would be a good thing, so far I haven't heard any serious objection other than it would be hard to program. Online databases exist that can make ISBN to Dewey and LCCN mappings so that objection is moot. Consider how it may benefit yourself even if you don't know the subject codes before you dismiss it. And if it provides no benefit to you, be considerate of those for whom it would benefit. ie don't shoot something down just because it doesn'tt suit you. It would have no negative impact whatsoever to those that didn't need it so why criticize it?
