Yes. That is a big problem. But just as it is wrong that a non-sysop user has to go begging and waiting for the good will of a sysop to put a link on the main page (*this* is counter productive), I think it wrong that regular users have to go begging a sysop to create a category for them. If I want to have a category about sustainable agriculture articles, and there is no sysop caring about the topic, would I really have to spent hours trying to find one cooperative enough to make it for me ? I don't think so. Again, this is counter productive. I predict lists will go on existing if categories are sysops restricted only.
Is it realy necessary to _beg_ a sysop? I think there are enought sysops to make such things happen fast. The problem I have, is mainly to find the requests of the users, but if there is a discussion page or faster, the mailing list is used for emergency cases, I will find the requests in less than ''hours''. And as developer of course the time to code as fast as the users invent new ideas is a problem -- but for adding a category, including use of some brain time*, I need 2 or 3 minutes (slow brain;).
My experiences with sysop's (on germen wiki) go more the other way. The users complain that they are to fast ;) But of course, I think it is possible for Magnus to implement, that only deletion is restricted.
