And wouldn't there be a lot of database space taken up by redundant categories like this? We could have articles for them, maybe, but at this rate we'll need to start 'WikiProject WikiDbCleanup'. If there are 12,000 categories, that has to make up a significant body of data.

Wait, isn't that encouraged? I had thought that most categories were supposed to categorize categories, and only the terminal categories were supposed to have articles in them - ex. [[Category:Free software]] should have only categories in it, not articles on software.
Eh? I don't recall that being required at all. Else you'll end up with a lot of "other x" subcats.
