 In the latest version I upgrade to is 2.3.2 and in it there is still code
 that is using not the new taxonomy system, but the obsolete wp_categories
 table. I understand that some of the code is required for the upgrade and
 import functionalities. However I think that there are other functions
 that rely on the wp_categories table, like '''wp_insert_category()''',
 '''wp_delete_category()''', '''wp_create_category()''' (which is calling
 ''wp_insert_category()''), '''category_exists()''',
 '''wp_delete_link()''', '''wp_set_link_cats()'''

 I stumbled upon several plugins that rely on some of the functions above,
 and they crashed because there is no more a wp_categories table.
