It is beginning to dawn on me (perhaps the sun rises later here) that there
is/would be a great difference between categorizing biographical articles v.
non-biographical ones. The biographical would require much less complex
layers. Any thoughts on this?

It seems to me a good point
has been made - if you want all suicides, then having to traverse all
subcats is tedious, to say the least.
I have occasionally wanted this feature: flatten out all subcategories of
something into a list. I hope we see it.
That does not mean that I want [[Category:Mathematics]] to consist of 15000
pages. How would that help anyone? I have actually done work, on
[[Category:Set theory]] (where I was thanked) and [[Category:Fluid dynamics]]
(perhaps unnoticed) on getting useful subcategories; which then can sit inside
two or more higher-level categories. This all adds to the convenience of the
user. It is quite a good idea, in many cases, to consider splitting categories
which have gone 'over the page'.
