But we need the functionality there first, so we can *then* flatten.
Ahh, the good old chicken and egg ;-) I don't let that count. We have plenty of working category intersection tools already.
Yes, but they're not part of the interface.
The technology needs to work with the data - the six million files and their categories, carefully added by hand by humans.
If category intersections worked, they could then be broken down to work better with category intersections.
Demanding that all six million files be de-categorised before you'll even allow a category intersection tool to *possibly* be deployed is backward.
People need to be able to go gradually.

Can be got around by calling the new system tagging and running it separate from the existing category system.
