Comment:

 Hi @bordoni, thanks for creating the ticket and apologies it took such a
 long time to receive a response.

 The ticket was discussed in a triage meeting in slack (viewing the
 conversation will require a Making WordPress slack account -
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1591247379036400).

 There were a few points noted in the meeting:
 - A way forward might be to introduce a new `wp_list_terms` function for
 listing terms generically. `wp_list_categories` could then be re-written
 to use `wp_list_terms`.
 - The `current_category` param was changed in 4.4 to accept an array, so
 there is some precedent for this kind of change.
 - Unit tests should be added for this change.
