Mostly because it's so easy to add a category. Another thing is that
one page typically belongs to several categories that can have
different access mode. I think it's possible tom implement
per-category access but there will be many interesting nuances.
The funniest thing I can think of is when I'm editing the page and add
the category to which I don't have the view permissions. I click Save
and my article dissapears from the view :) . Of course it's solvable,
but I suspect there is a lot more similar cases that will require some
additional efforts.

I see three sub-tasks here:
0) Writing a good proposal of how ACL should work. Will it be based on
namespaces? or maybe categories (although it's hard to imagine)? or
maybe per-page access? I can help to describe this vision document.
Yury, why is it hard to imagine per-category access? :-)
