   The page looks much better now, but I can’t make sense of the following:

   In this case it is not the category that is a quotient, but its objects are quotients

   A Serre quotient category seems to me as much a quotient category as anything else, and one can construct it without changing the objects of the abelian category of which it is a quotient…
