I wonder if more people might desire this feature now that Discourse may work well with a lot more categories:

> information_source This project has been put on hold for now. We may revisit it in the future and will post an update here if so. We are introducing an experimental feature to help communities with a large number of categories. rocket For the past few months we have been working hard on making Discourse sites work better for communities with many categories (and not only!) This will allow administrators to create thousands of categories while keeping the friendly UX you are familiar with…

For myself, I’m imagining hosting a forum that has chapters in maybe over 100 countries and maybe other types of categories as well. While it could be done with tags, I like the idea of each country being able to manage its own subcategories without having to ask the admins/staff manually each time because I think category management gives more control over who can view/reply/create than tag management does.
