Can someone point me to one of these cycles? I

one, although I've no doubt they exist. I just can't imagine a situation
in which much is gained by allowing it and, given that certain features
would be a lot easier if the system were guaranteed cycle-free, I think
we might be better off disallowing them. But I'd like to see a few of
them "in the wild" before making my mind up.
They're obviously not easy to find since we have no built in features
to do that, and every time one becomes known, it gets fixed :) Maybe
Magnus's tool can help us out? I don't think we have any permanent,
accepted ones, if that's what you're asking...they just happen from
time to time when enough sufficiently dubious category links get
made...
