This is what I get when I try to run category.py tidy as it is currently in Git. I do not see any advantages of of CategoryDB and I want to remove it in another commit. It only adds complexity to the code, is broken, sometimes you will have outdated data in the database, and even with a 2Mbit connection you can fetch thousands of articles from the internet every second. If there should be some kind of caching in Pywikibot this should be done in the core of the framework, not in independent scripts for special use cases.
