It seems that what's mostly needed now is a front end for category intersection. The one new function you talk about, and its associated special pages, are the only implementation of that that I'm aware of.
Um, yes. What do we want as an interface?
1. A search interface:"Enter tags:"
2. For [[Category:Left-handed living Jewish American lesbian poets of Martian citizenship]] to automatically populate from the intersection of tags "Left-handed people", "Living people", "Jewish people", "American people", "Lesbians", "Poets" and "Martian citizens".
The second is harder but lets us preserve the querulously tiny subcategories for backward compatibility. OTOH, luring people prone to idiot wiki flamewars into an idiot wiki flamewar keeps them too busy to mess up anything important. So let's not regard 2. as being a blocker in any way whatsoever.
