Comment (by nacin):

 There was some discussion on this, possibly in IRC... Basically,
 in_category() is such an old function used by so much code, simply
 renaming it for pure consistency will be annoying, especially for reviewed
 themes. We're evil,  but not that evil. Introducing has_category() but not
 deprecating is_category() seemed like a fine idea at the time.
