Comment(by filosofo):

 Replying to [comment:4 scribu]:
 > The proposed implementation of get_ancestors() will generate a lot of
 queries when you have deep nesting.

 How deep are you talking about, and how would that happen?  I've never
 seen so many levels in categories that it would make a difference (in
 other words, more than a handful).

 Also the object cache should help with that.
