 This bug has been around for several versions now, and it needs to be
 fixed. It's been reported several times, and always closed or rejected,
 with the comment that it's as designed. For example this bug  report.

 If it's as intended, then the individual who wrote this section of code
 isn't a very good developer. This section of code has severe usability
 issues when a blog has any amount of nested categorization.

 The fact that a plug-in exists to address this issue, should be proof
 enough that this is a real bug/usability issue.

 This could easily be fixed by adding an option to respect the hierarchy.
 Thus it could continue to work "as designed", as well as fix the issue
 with hierarchies.
