The problem being discussed in this thread would be solved by the feature (much-desired by Commons) of turning categories into tags - so that e.g. [[Category:Left-handed dead Jewish lesbian presidents of the United States]] could become a query combining a pile of tags, rather than a ridiculously specific sub-sub-category as we have now.
So would tags replace categories or work alongside?
Ideally, they'd work much as cats do now, but you could easily run Boolean queries on them without MediaWiki falling over.
