 Let's say you have some posts that are in a certain category. Then, you
 decide to create a new post type to replace that category. So, after you
 switch the post type of the posts in this category to your new post type
 and then delete the old category, all of the posts that you've just
 converted are now assigned to the default category, even if the post type
 doesn't support categories.
