In my view, this kind of misses the point entirely: if MediaWiki had a proper API or UI for adding and removing categories (or other metadata), a gadget like HotCat would be almost completely unnecessary. :-) HotCat exists to fill a void left by MediaWiki.
Those interested in this issue can copy themselves on this bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27312.
Well I managed to make a quick script that can add/remove categories from wikitext pages (I basically copy/pasted Parser::replaceInternalLinks2). That way at least the category removal happens in PHP and not in JavaScript.
