Comment:

 Thanks for the patch, theMikeD. A general filter on the args in
 `wp_dropdown_categories()` is probably too general an solution here.
 Elsewhere in the Dashboard interface, we filter the arguments *before*
 they're passed to `wp_dropdown_categories()` (that's what
 'taxonomy_parent_dropdown_args' etc do), so for consistency, let's do the
 same thing here. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.2.2/src
 /wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php?marks=504#L488

 If it's put there, I'd say a better filter name is
 'post_edit_category_parent_dropdown_args'.
