 > That filter or some other way of registering a preferred term needs to
 be in place before we do anything like this.  Arbitrarily picking a
 category sort of made sense even as a hack, because there are people who
 build their site structure with categories as hierarchical slots holding
 individual posts.  But it doesn't make sense to take that hack for one
 particular use of one taxonomy and extend it to all taxonomies abstractly.

 See #18752 - I added a filter to allow a plugin to specify which category
 to use in the permalink structure instead of forcing it to use the cat
 with the lowest ID.

 Other than that, I kind of like the blahblah/-/blahblah idea for dealing
 with the cases where there's no term.
