Comment(by ericmann):

 If I could, I'd rephrase this as "Make categories optional."

 Unless another category is specified as the "default" category, all posts
 should properly be "uncategorized" by default.  But "uncategorized" itself
 should not behave in the UI like a category by itself.  It should be as
 transparent as possible to the user, more of a placeholder until users can
 properly categorize content than anything else.

 So my recommendation is that there ''should'' be such a thing as
 uncategorized posts with the option to specify a default catchall category
 on top of that.
