Heh, I'm apparently not "most editors". I know I keep harping on, but if we don't define what the relationship "subcategory" means, how do we know that cycles are meaningless?

In some of our fuzzier areas, the subcategory relationships are so vague and arbitrary that there doesn't seem any major harm in following the chain and ending up back where you started.

Can someone point me to one of these cycles? I don't remember seeing one, although I've no doubt they exist. I just can't imagine a situation in which much is gained by allowing it and, given that certain features would be a lot easier if the system were guaranteed cycle-free, I think we might be better off disallowing them. But I'd like to see a few of them "in the wild" before making my mind up.
