At the risk of asking a stupid question: what is the status of category intersections? I guess this is really directed to Brion, Tim, and anyone capable of doing commits. Is there any interest/motivation in making it happen? I think a lucene index is the way to go - if someone coded an interface, could someone capable of doing it (Tim?) set up the index?
I'm capable of doing commits, but not setting anything up on the site. For my part, adding category intersection functionality for core is probably the next significant thing I'd do, given some time to spend on development work (which may or may not be available soon). I would add it using MySQL fulltext in core (and PostgreSQL support also belongs in core, if someone wants to write that), but with a pluggable backend. But someone could easily preempt me, since I have no timetable for this.
