Comment (by lau@…):

 I have a specific need and a simple suggested solution.

 PROBLEM:
 My store sells clothing so each season I add new clothes to the "New
 Arrivals" category and also to whatever category they will remain in over
 the long term e.g "Women's pants".
 So every season I need to remove all the previous seasons clothes from the
 "New Arrivals" category.

 SOLUTION 1:
 On the Edit Product Category page put a button at the bottom [ Remove all
 products from this Category ]

 SOLUTION 2:
 On the Product Categories list page add another Bulk Action "remove
 products from category"

 SOLUTION 3:
 In the short term I'd be happy if you could give me the sql to remove a
 categoryid from all products with that categoryid.

 Thanks in advance
 Lau
