Categories have becoming the latest fad by POV pushers. No need to  
provide sources, no need to abide by NPOV, just create a Category  
with your POV and add articles to it. Then claim that it is a  
"navigational aid",  and that it benefits Wikipedia readers. Some  
lists are going the same direction as well.

It seems that as are policies become tighter (or better adopted and  
understood) POV pushers will find the path of least resistance, and  
now Lists and Categories are these.
