Hee hee, I'm thinking I should take a couple weeks of wikicommonsbreak 
right about now! But seriously, what you're talking about will stir up a 
large percentage of the commons people who obsess over categories. I'm 
not even sure having category intersections in the software will satisfy 
some of these folks - they go on about server loads and the like as 
well. I'd suggest just bringing up the issue and watching the fur fly, 
before deciding to invest time in rewriting anything...
