We have a junk-load of categories which only increase in number. Not doing anything is obviously not working. Existing system is incapable of handling it.
Frankly, I don't see what's "not working" about the current approach. There are a heck of a lot of categories, some of them highly specific, but it remains to be proven to me how this is actually a _problem_.
It may be that we have different opinions on what the category system should be used for. But real-world usage has developed to the state it is today through a large-scale broad-based process of mass editing, and I suspect an attempt to forcibly wrench it into a different mold is likely to run into a lot of trouble as a result.
